Made to Order Software at Linux on Wall Street!
Made to Order Software Corporation debuted three new products at the Linux on Wall Street conference in the heart of New York City, New York at the Roosevelt Hotel on Monday, April 23, 2007. We were at booth #225, and had a smashing time! Here we are talking to an interested attendee!
The products below were debuted at Linux on Wall Street:
molib A robust application toolkit library, molib gives you the power to develop cross-platform applications quickly and easily. It abstracts operating system calls through C++ objects (i.e. moFile and moDirectory abstract access to the file system, moDatabase to a database of your choice and moApplication to the system environment). This lets you write code once to create applications which compile and run under Microsoft Windows XP, GNU/Linux and Mac OS/X.
the sandbox Create GUI applications using open source tools with ease, and port them between platforms with our new Sandbox technology! molib is compatible with our Sandbox, and we recommend both to build robust, secure and stable GUI applications.
sswf support Our open source, robust C++ library and scripting language to create Adobe Flash animations just got better with the addition of official support by Made to Order Software Corporation.
sswf includes a complete documentation of the Adobe Flash format. The C++ library was created in 2000 and has continuously been enhanced since its initial release 7 years ago. In 2005, an ActionScript? compiler was included in the distribution. The sswf project has not been publicized and yet it has been downloaded more than 29,000 times.
The sswf library is used in several commercial products with great success.
We had many people asking about our products, and the key issue we stress is cross-platform development. We found many attendees very interested in being able to target both Linux and Windows, but not as many expressed interest in the Macintosh platform (which we support anyway!).
Anthony Gold had this to say about the conference. I met him at the HP/Intel gathering after the show and had an amazing time talking to him and Micheal Wheeler of Redmayne-Bentley.
In Redmayne-Bentley's situation, at least, they were moving from SCO-Unix to Linux. However, it seems a larger problem migrating from Windows to Linux. Using our libraries, you can build your application on a foundation that allows you to easily port from one platform to another because operating system details are abstracted away from you. Also, if you choose the right framework library, you can port easily between GUI systems.
