To prove it, Vacava is giving its RapidBiz system out for free to both programmers and non-programmers to compete in a contest to see who can create the best web applications.
Winners in each of the pro and rookie categories will receive $2,000. Runners-up will get Apple iPads.
Competitors will also be able to earn for money directly from the marketplace for their work.
All of the business-focused applications will go into Vacava's online "catalog." Following the model of the Apple App Store, customers can directly purchase the applications.
The creators will receive all of the money generated by any sales.
