page 6 7 years old lines in total lines of code 700 classes and components One version for webbrowsers and one for iPads and Android tablets FLEX CLIENT – BEING REWRITTEN

page 7 NEW FRONT END APPLICATION Started January Complete rewrite. New structure and model. Written in TypeScript and JavaScript Currently 4000 lines of TypeScript in 36 files, with a significantly larger number of classes and interfaces. And 1500 lines of JavaScript in 23 files Focus is on well structured object oriented code, using functional techniques where appropriate Desktop webbrowser application and tablet application; different version with a large amount of code reuse Targeting only browsers supporting HTML5, ECMAScript5 and CSS3

page ABOUT TYPESCRIPT 8 Created by Microsoft, released in version 1.0 in April 2014 Superset of ECMAScript 5 (aka JavaScript). Using ECMAScript 6 syntax where possible Has classes, interfaces, modules and generics Static type check at compile time with fun features such as optional typing, type inference, function types and implied interfaces Supports both closures and classes, so we get the both of both worlds and can write multi-paradigm programs using both functional and object oriented programming Dynamic prototyping and static type check. The speed of development of dynamic languages and the safety of static languages Excellent IDE support (Visual Studio, IDEA Intellij/WebStorm, Eclipse, Sublime Text, etc)

page ABOUT EXT 9 Ext JS is the industry standard for data-driven single-page applications Large number of components available Meta-object protocol for supporting inheritance, classes, component hierarchies, etc. Cross browser fidelity

page DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT 10 Maven is our build automation tool Git is our version control system TeamCity is our continous build system Each developer is free to use the IDE of his or her choice. Currently most developers use IDEA IntellIJ Ultimate, but we also have licenses for Visual Studio 2013 and will accommodate other choices.
