May 12: Applying engaging, modern web 2.0 look & feel to your VWG application with version 6.4

I would like to present an upcoming webcast demonstrating Visual WebGui's unique process of creating new Web application themes. VWG tools allow a new interface between the developer and the graphic designer and defining each one's responsibilities (making usage of Adobe Photoshop) in the process. Starting from a default theme, understanding the needs and implementing accordingly.

The webcast which is taking place on May 12 is open to everyone for free.

“The Visual WebGui development process was extremely productive and eliminated much of the complexity required to deliver a highly functional UI using ASP.Net” Mitch Stephens HR TMS Product Architect

Middlesex Hospital needed to automate their review process, pull in the position information from those spreadsheets and be able to deliver reviews online. Users needed to have online access to those reviews from a standard browser. Although the manual system had its issues, it did have the advantage of being very comprehensive and familiar to users.

The decision was made to provide a web-based solution that leveraged the look and feel of those spreadsheets in order to insure user acceptance of the system and minimize the training needed.
Visual WebGui was chosen as the Platform for that project. Read the full article.

Rouen Business School builds its entire back office UI with Visual WebGui

Two years ago, Rouen Business School (AMBA accredited institution located in Rouen, Normandy, France) decided to develop and implement a proprietary information system in-house. The objective was to administer all the data encompassed by a classic 3500 Students business school.

The development team at Rouen Business School chose Visual WebGui for the UI. "When we tested the Visual WebGui solution we were really amazed and enthusiastic. It was exactly the kind of solution we were looking for... The great performance of the solution allows us to manage a large amount of information with no delay with a very positive feedback at the user end," said Stéphane Henry the IT Project Manager of the school.

As a result of the fast development, easy deployment, performance, and professional design that the team experienced with Visual WebGui, the entire back office of Rouen Business School information system was chosen to be developed with the Visual WebGui framework "and after two years we do not see any reason to change this," commented Stéphane Henry who added that "all the original requirements were satisfied using Visual WebGui."
