Rigorous software development practices for a range of technologies: Carbon Five developers can pick the right tool for the job
In traditional web development, user interface designers frequently build HTML and Flash-based interfaces for web applications. All too often, these user interface developers do not have the appropriate background to ensure that the implementation is robust, extensible and maintainable.
At Carbon Five, our software developers implement user interface designs to make sure that the rigor of our core development practices are used in the UI layer. Our server-side development practices provide a service-oriented framework for supporting rich user interfaces. We have implemented sophisticated web application interfaces using AJAX, Flash and Macromedia Flex solutions and desktop applications using the core Java Swing framework.
Since we are comfortable with all of these technologies, we are free to choose the right tool for the job. We consider the nature of the application, the application's users and the skills of our client's developers to make the best decision for each and every client.
Our AJAX solutions include:
- Asynchronous calls originating from plugin free browser for data refresh and updates
