| The Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) is our primary development tool enabling us to rapidly develop applications with efficient component re-use. All of our applications start life with our own standard framework that takes care of much of the basics in a powerful application. This ensures that all of our developments are off to a quick start and our clients don't pay for something we've done hundreds of times before. Our automatic update software means that our clients don't have to worry about upgrading our software to the latest version - it's done automatically for them. This brings together the transparency of a web application with the rich interface of a smart client system. Additionally, we are now using the Compact Framework to develop applications targeted for the Windows Mobile Platform. |
