Arthur,

- how much does the software cots ?

Nubuilder is open source project, so you can download, edit and use as you want (according to GPL license).

- has anybody created applications/projects which can be easily integrated into Joomla CMS ?

I don't know: someone can answare on this question.

- what are the pro's and con's ?

Pro's:
- based on a simple but extremely easy to understand model;
- easy (and fun) to develop RIA applications also without coding (if you know JS and PHP you can do everything);
- easy to understand for end users;
- easy to integrate your custom code.
Con's:
- the extremely simple model sometime could be a limit;
- some settings are hardcoded, so change something you have to edit PHP source (we hope next version 3 will be more flexible);
- no ORM for DB;

My two cents,
Max

what is ORM ?

are there any recommended CMS systems where nuBuilder can be integrated ?

aklisiewicz,
there aren't reccomended CMSs, but the better answere should be: "it depends on what you want to get from this integration".
I think the simplest way to integrate is to insert nuBuilder in a HTML page, inside an <iframe>.

ps: ORM = Object Relational Mapping
