Right People? Wrong Skills?

Go Codeless - Take the pain away, when transitioning to Enterprise Web 2.0 and SOA.

Modern Web Requirements

Today's modern Java centric web application development projects require a dramatically increased number of skills to deliver an agile solution that possesses a string architecture. Development team members need to possess an extensive range of different skills in order to deliver Accessible and Rich Internet Applications (RIA) based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

The Skills Challenge

There are a considerable number of skills required that are challenging to find in each and every enterprise developer. This is without considering the potential consistency and quality issues that can emerge from team members having varying levels of skills and coding practices.

The table below examine the types of technologies and skills required for a typical Java centric development compared with the Hyfinity approach:

Application Tier	MVC	Skill Set	J2EE Code Centric	Hyfinity
View Layer	Presentation - Look and Feel	CSS	Required	Required
	Page Structure	XHTML	Required	Not
	UI Features	Custom Tag Libraries	Required	Not
	UI Client Side Behaviour	Java/ECMA script, DOM	Required	Not
	Page Rendering	JSF, JSP, XSLT	Required	Not
	Data Capture	Java	Required	Not
Controller Layer	UI Orchestration	Servlets, JSP, Java	Required	Not
	Controller Framework	Struts, Spring, Bespoke, etc.	Required	Not
	Business Logic	Java	Required	Not
	Data Logic Processing	XML, XPath	Required	Required
Model Layer	Data Integration	Hibernate, JDBC	Required	Not
	Service Integration	Java, Http, Soap / Apache Axis	Required	Not
	Data Binding	WSDL, XSD Schema - Data Binding APIs	Required	Not

There are many J2EE variants that could also be considered above, but this only leads to further complicating the development landscape and the skilled resource required.

Hyfinity's approach removes the need to understand a considerable number of technology skill sets when constructing services based web applications.

Take the Pain Away

Hyfinity's MVC Rapid RIA Builder enables assembly of web applications by consuming multiple service-enabled IT systems and resources through a visual "drag and drop" studio for assembling and describing the business application.

The developers productivity is dramatically improved with a number of key features:

• Design by Contract - Enable parallel development of Services and Web User Interfaces by consuming Schemas and WSDLs.

• Schema and Web Service based UI Generation - Automatic creation and handling of UI Controls, Validation, Data Bindings, error handling, two-way data transformations for services. No other product supports automatic binding of data to a Web Service Contract and generation of client-side validation.

• Dynamic Accessible and Rich Applications - Generated UI layer that adjusts the visual appearance based on the users Browsers enabled capabilities.

• 100% Interoperability for XML and Web Services - Many development frameworks simply can't handle pure standards based XML e.g. Namespaces and compound documents.

Hyfinity is focused on delivering enterprise web solutions that allow the web developer to concentrate on the business functionality rather than the technical plumbing to enable these complex web solutions. The MVC product has been specifically designed for a XML and SOA centric development landscape that is the foundation of Rich Internet Application developments today.
