Keys The Key: Mastery of UNIX, X, Net Protocols and Hardware System-Level Services.

What goes on at ViewTouch that makes our software development framework and the solutions we build with it so darned versatile and reliable?

Mastering the system services in the UNIX specification, "X", Network and Internet Protocols and the hardware is a daunting task. There are more than 1,100 of them in UNIX alone and they are continually being extended. It's our job to make them all dance together.

Creating a concert of harmony and usefulness by making use of these services, making them sing and dance with the hardware, the application code and the GUI in a turnkey package is what we do here. It is of value to those of you who need vertical market solutions and a strategic path leading to the best future. We are offering our experience and our tools to you to help your organization in ANY project that you are involved in or which you are considering involvement. As with every aspect of life, success and efficiency requires experience and the right tools for the jobs.

Building on the Component (i.e., NOT on the Monolithic) Model

ViewTouch software is, in a way, difficult to understand and appreciate if you're not actually using it because it is so many things and there's really nothing to precisely compare it to. It's a rapid application development (RAD) framework for the expedient, cost-efficient creation of multi-user, collaborative, vertical market software. There are no 3rd party license, royalty or patent-related costs for any of the components used in any projects built with the ViewTouch framework, including the operating system, the X Window System and the Internet's protocols. The user hardware and user interfaces we specialize in are touchscreen displays and hand-held devices.

We can assist any organization in quickly creating an interactive prototype for evaluation. The ViewTouch framework is unique; it is built on the distributed programming model, it can be launched from a grid and it requires only the X server software component and the minimal X terminal hardware necessary for the X server on the user side. Even thinner than 'thin client' computing, our very traditional, though seldom used, approach is unparalleled in its success in minimizing the duplication of hardware and software on your projects.

Our touchscreen displays are not each connected directly to a computer, but rather into into the network. Each display is stateless, with no application software to crash, no information to lose, and no user maintenance required. Nothing is downloaded to the display, so there is no risk of viruses. Because the display contains no web browser or other applications, and because all data is kept by the remote host, the display never needs upgrading with new storage space or processors.

Project leaders, designers and users can launch projects by first creating the interface. The code is then added in modular fashion to bring the interface to life. Projects can be launched with initial GUI prototypes on day one! These screen shots were built for the food & beverage market by using the ViewTouch framework. GUI components such as these can be built by users who have no programming skills but who nonetheless know what they want from their GUI. The intuition and experience of users is the most natural and sensible starting point for successfully system designs.

ViewTouch & Free Software

ViewTouch is unequivocally committed to the aims of the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project and to the Free Software Foundation Europe. The FSF Europe works towards all European aspects of Free Software and especially the GNU Project. It actively supports development of applications which are built with Free Software and which champion the advancement of GNU based systems. FSF Europe provides a competence center for politicians, lawyers and journalists to secure the legal, political and social future of Free Software.
