Description

ASTA 3 allows Delphi Developers to build secure thin client applications that run over the Internet and also support Palm, WinCE, Java, C# and other non-vcl clients.

ASTA 3.0 is a mature product built on the ASTA foundation started in 1998 with the release of ASTA 1.0. ASTA has been used by thousands of developers world wide in over 80 countries. This release has more features and documentation than ever with a 700+ Page PDF manual and documented Tutorials.

ASTA takes the burden off developers and allows you to build cross platform, thin client, zero admin, secure, scalable Database applications that can run over the Internet. We want you to concentrate on coding your application rather than dealing with low level issues like threading, encryption, or writing SQL update statements. With ASTA you set properties rather than have to implement with code. If you are using a library that requires you to use low level techniques like 'critical sections' for threading, move to ASTA 3 where servers are threaded by default and the developer is shielded from such low level error prone techniques. ASTA 3 allows developers to concentrate on coding applications rather than dealing with low level "socket" issues.

The Internet Second Wave is here and the ASTA Technology Framework provides the foundation to not only build scalable rich, thin client applications but to add collaborative tools and full cross platform support beyond the Desktop.

Description

AstaIO allows Delphi developers to create thin client database applications that run over the Internet or any tcp/ip network. No DLL's or setup of any kind is required on the client.

AstaIO is an all-new n-Tier product, redesigned from the ground. Built on the ASTA tradition, it can be used with Delphi V5 or V6 Professional or Kylix Desktop. Delphi Enterprise is NOT required nor is Kylix Server edition.

Clients and Servers can be mixed and matched. Java servers and clients will be added as well as all ASTA handheld clients.

AstaIO supports the IProvider Interface so MIDAS/DataSnap developers will be able to code AstaIO servers with techniques they are accustomed to.

Description

Today's database programming skills require the ability to solve the problems of linking database engine and Application together, all against the backdrop of rapidly changing corporate environment. The selling point of Thin-Client is it doesn't have to provide access to ODBC, BDE and Vendor library, etc.

In the past, when Delphi tried to create a Client/Server program, it encountered problems in supplying the ODBC, BDE and Vendor library to end-user's PC.

This single obstacle forced the programmer to devote more time on support and administration rather than on development.

Delphi's problem is now solved by DiCON's ability to connect a Database Server through Windows Socket Module (in a basic OS setup). in other words, programs supported by DiCON aren't forced to provide access to ODBC, BDE and Vendor library. DiCON's product offers consumers a high level of support and administrative expertise, during the development of C/S program and intranet program utilizing ActiveX (TDiConnection, TDiCONTable, TDiCONQuery, TDiCONStoredProc, TDiCONVer).

Description

Intended to be replacement for MIDAS. Midware is very easy to use and very efficient as it is pure VCL. No COM/DCOM, no OCX no DLL. Just your own executable. The client doesn't need the BDE. The server doesn't require the BDE, but can use it as anyother database system such as SQL, ODBC express, Apollo or CodeBase. And it works on your LAN, WAN or accross the Internet. Both the client and the server can be built in only a few minutes. At client side, you can use all native Delphi dataware components such as TDBGrid, TDBNavigator and others.

Requires Internet Component Suite.

Description

Developing client/server and multi-tier applications can be a time-consuming process. With nTierIt Application Framework for Delphi, however, you'll be turning out attractive, feature rich, powerful applications in just a few hours. Some of the built-in features that make this possible are:

Data related:

• A new TClientDataSet (CDS) subclass provides many enhancements.
• A type-safe "CDS Manager" facility handles all needed processing such as browse, edit, commit, AutoInc key generation, etc.
• A TAction-driven replacement for TDBNavigator adds new capabilities, reflects the mutual status of related master/detail files, and permits the use of any action-enabled button and menu controls.
• Thin-client table security down to the field level with no need for a DBA to maintain multiple views or login IDs. Flexible login encryption security with an encryption algorhythm that can be changed simply by modifying two commands.
• A "Persistent Data" option to refetch the data in use during the user's last session.
• A "Resident Memory Table" option to keep small, static tables permanently in memory yet be able to refresh them from the server if the need arises.
• An "Offline Briefcase Mode" option permits users to work with local copies of data and later merge changes back into the online database server. Users can continue to be productive even when servers go down.
• Applications can be configured for ultimate portability whereby the executable can be run against any database without recompiling, or they can be configured for tight integration with a specific RDBMS via the use of stored procedures and triggers. And more...

Form related:

• The use of Visual Form Inheritance (VFI) promotes an object-oriented development approach that supports multiple form styles (three application styles are shipped with the product). Most of the source code resides in superclasses, so only the final subclass is modified to customize the form. Most modifications consist of reviewing source code and making minor changes by declaring new instances and/or copying or uncommenting existing code and making minor changes to it.
• All framework-created forms are independent and reusable.
• Forms are dynamically created and destroyed to conserve memory.
• Form persistence: when created, their last known state (size, position, last focused control) is restored.
• A "Program Manager/Loader" application provides an option to allow single login access to all framework-based applications. All applications provide the ability to require a login when started in stand-alone mode and to skip the login when started from Program Manager. Data security for the user always is enforced at login.
• Legacy forms and forms generated with object-oriented design tools can be incorporated into the class hierarchy of framework applications.
• A form/control resizer handles differences between "Small Font" and "Large Font" screen resolutions. And more...

Description

RemObjects SDK is the essential remoting framework for .NET and Delphi. It allows you to remotely access objects residing on a server from clients inside the LAN or across the Internet.

Use the RemObjects SDK to build client and server applications that easily communicate with each other over the network.

Available in editions for .NET and Delphi, the RemObjects SDK brings a RAD approach to building distributed applications, with the Service Builder for easy modeling of your server interface, Service Tester for performance and scalability tests on your deployed servers, and a wide range of communication options to choose from.

Smart Services allow you to use the SDK's high performance communication technologies while at the same time remaining open to Web Service standards such as SOAP or XML-RPC.
