The Answer Basic Concepts Authentication Data Access Containers Sections Sub Sections Widgets The Future

What if we had the "plumbing", a structure, that abstracted the developer so they kept focused on business rules all the time. Wouldn't software be written better? Webstensible is an extensible application layer focused on letting developers build robust business applications from scratch that subscribe to a 3 tier application architecture. It completely seperates the UI from data access and business rules, has a robust authentication / security architecture infused into all three application layers, can pull any number of disperate data sources (think web services, flat files, Excel, ISAM, as well as SQL) on the fly into a seamless UI, and even has built-in error management. The framework is designed, from the ground up, to have any or all of it's components replaced at any time to match environmental conditions? Mission critical applications can be built on the Webstensible foundation today, quickly, and in a highly standardized manner. See Syntax Help for a sample application built on this architecture. The Syntax Help application is embedded into a DNN architecture via a custom Webstensible module. Syntax can also be deployed standalone. But since DNN offers such a rich environment to share information above and beyond the business application layer, it's a wonderful platform to launch your Webstensible business applications from. You hit the ground running with security, navigation and content. All you need to add is the Webstensible business layer for a complete intranet or extranet portal solution.
