Keyhole consultants assisted the client with a proprietary designer platform for end users. This tool enables a non-programmer to create a form-based web application without using code—simply by dragging UI elements onto a form page. The form contains pages that have UI elements, each element with associated properties that are interactive at design time. Each element has behaviors that impart program logic to the form. The tool user interacts with those artifacts by dragging and dropping elements, drawing behavior or workflow connections, modifying properties, and then saving the form, as XML, to a server. A web-based player interprets the form XML to serve it to an end-user as a web application.
Development: JavaScript Brewery Solution
Keyhole Consultants designed and developed a repository of beers, ingredients, and characteristics of the product lines for an international brewery conglomerate that had purchased various micro-breweries.
This repository provides public access via a RESTful HTTP API that provides a singular, consistent way for Marketing and/or other interested parties to access and update detailed information as their portfolio evolves – including breweries, products, and packaging.
Development: Backbone.js Assessment Application
Keyhole Software Consultants developed a Backbone.js application that allows end users to take assessments online instead of on paper.
The project, which started with no UI, had a minimum viable product (MVP) deployed to production in less than three months.
Modernization: HTML5 Designer Tool
A team of Keyhole Consultants has been focused on a rewrite initiative for a client proprietary Designer tool.
This tool enables a non-programmer to create a form-based web application by dragging UI elements onto a page of a form. The form contains pages that have UI elements. Each element has a number of associated properties, interactive at design-time. Each element can have behaviors that impart program logic to the form. The form can have a workflow associated with it. The tool user interacts with those artifacts by dragging and dropping elements, drawing behavior or workflow connections, modifying properties, and then saving the form, as XML, to a server. A web-based player interprets the form XML to serve it to an end-user as a web application.
New Development: Time Tracking Application with HTML5
A team of Keyhole Software consultants achieved the client’s goal in building this application, which was to validate that robust enterprise applications can be built successfully using HTML5/JavaScript and related frameworks. That goal was proven to be viable.
