This is not your parents' SIAS client

With the advent of GSS a lot of new client possibilities open up for viewing Smallworld data. This video by GEIS shows their Flash-based client that provides some nice intuitive and interactive functionality. Good job guys!

SIAS client using Silverlight

As you are no doubt aware, most SIAS client applications use Java to build their front end. I saw something really cool today done by long-time Smallworld developer Poorya Khodaverdi. He has created a Silverlight-based web application that uses SIAS services. You can see his 5-minute demo here.

As he pointed out to me, this was just a rapid application development implementation. It should be easy enough to modify the client to whatever specs a user would want. While we may all have our differing opinions of Microsoft and their Silverlight framework, I do think that any technology that makes the user interface more pleasant to work with is worth having a look at.

You can find out more about this Silverlight/SIAS integration by contacting Poorya directly at pkhodaverdi@gmail.com
