My Experience in the Bizspark Program

May 22nd, I officially graduated and became a Bizspark Alumni. An exciting time that I would love to do all over again. Microsoft has provided my company with their entire software library to assist me in growing my business and building my software. I code in C# and use Visual Studio quite extensively, so the use of these tools was invaluable. I had a great idea for what I wanted to build but didn't know how to get to the finish line. I used the online documentation library quite a bit to acquire the knowledge I needed to complete the task at hand.


My companies mission is to provide the best Line of Business Rich Enterprise Applications. I had chosen Sencha Touch to build my Client Interface Controls for browser applications. I just needed to figure out a way to construct the interfaces dynamically. With my experience building JavaScript User Interfaces, I was a little frustrated with the continuous coding of JavaScript and time involved. I knew there had to be a better way and set out to experiment.

With the release of Windows Server 2012 which introduces Websocket support, I am able to deliver a HTML5 Websocket Rich Enterprise Application Development Framework that will allow developers to create desktop looking applications in minutes. The Framework integrates with Visual Studio 2011 and uses .NET 4.5. Developers will have drag and drop support Graphical User Interface Designer with realtime data support. Developers will be able to build web applications that run on IIS 8.0 and support 100,000+ users.


The first .NET HTML5 Websockets Rich Enterprise Application Framework CTP coming soon


This groundbreaking solution which has been under development for the past 3 years will be released to the developer community in September. Dynamic Asynchronous JavaScript (DAJA) on Websockets was designed to allow developers to build Rich Enterprise Applications using .NET Winforms as a GUI Designer that emits Sencha Touch JavaScript Widgets as the client interface. All browsers that support Websockets HyBi 76 will run applications in realtime. Backend web server will run on IIS 8.0.

Please stay tuned, more to come...
