Web Application Development

DivvyWork has over ten years experience developing dynamic web applications on a number a platforms. Dynamic web apps are web pages that use server resources such as databases, user management methods, and network resources to display, edit, or add data, keep track of user session information, or pull data from local files or external resources. In such applications the server collects all the needed data, processes that data and then presents the finished product to the user by displaying a finished webpage.

When creating dynamic web apps DivvyWork works primarily with open source software such as PHP and PERL. We can also work on proprietary platforms when needed including Cold Fusion or Microsoft C#.NET and VB.NET. We also do extensive “front end” development with Flash/Flex, MXML, ActionScript, JavaScript, JQuery and YUI. Past custom builds include social networking sites, shopping carts, web crawling scripts, advanced web based graphical editing tools, bookkeeping applications, calendar base applications, media loading tools and much more.

Business Solutions

Business solution development is an overarching term used to describe a number of project types. Generally these projects involve the automation of tasks, distribution of data, assignment of work, or the passing of information and ideas. Commonly, business solutions are unique applications that are needed to make a company more effective and profitable by making a common task easier to complete. Some example of Business Solutions include inventory control systems, accounting systems, custom shopping cart creation, time management applications, social networking solution creation, multimedia delivery solution creation, data collection script creation and much more.

Once you create a portal you can customize the experience that all your visitors have depending on their security level, employee status, customer status, account balance or whatever metric matters for your business.

Creating a web portal can be accomplished in a number of ways depending on the platform you’re running on and the language you are using.

Database Architecture and Management

Rich Internet Application Development

Rich Internet Applications (RIA) are specialized applications that can be run as desktop, web, or mobile applications. Often RIA applications act less like a web page and more like a desktop application… but really they can be designed to look and feel just about any way you want them to behave. These types of applications are commonly created because of a need for more interaction or added functionality than standard webpage output would make possible. RIA design makes use of media such as animation, video, and audio making your app as fancy, functional and interactive as needed. Even though RIAs are great for a lot of types of applications there are times when a standard web application design is more desirable. Below is a list of common RIA types:

Common Uses for RIA Technology

  • Audio and Video Galleries
  • Stock Trading Applications
  • Education/Learning/Training Software
  • Social Networking
  • Video Games
  • Video Chat Services

When the term “Rich Internet Application” is used it generally refers to any application using Flash or the less used Silver Light technologies to display their output. This means that RIAs can be built on top of other technologies like.NET or PHP making your RIA as strong, fast, and secure as any web application out there. Since the RIAs use Flash Player technology just about any device capable of viewing flash content can make use of RIA apps.

DivvyWork creates Rich Internet Applications primarily using Flex 4 and the Flash Player platform as its frontend technology. For the backend side of things we use .NET/MSSQL or PHP/MySQL. This means the RIA we create can be as powerful, fast, and reliable as anything on the internet and because of the use of the Flash Player our RIAs can move from desktop to the web or even to a cell phone.

RIAs are great for a lot of types of applications but there are times when a standard web application design is more desirable. Talk to us about your project and we can help you figure out if a RIA type of design would work well for your project.
