Presentations
Building Multi-language Flex RIAs
Building support for multiple languages within your RIA is a non-trivial effort requiring translators, developers, and designers to address changes to text, graphics, skins, dates, validations, data, and [possibly] layout. In this session, you will learn about (a) best practices for localization [l10n] and (b) important considerations when enhancing your custom RIA to support multiple languages and international cultures. Learn why the standard Flash and Flex approaches are solutions best avoided since they introduce maintenance and scalability issues.
Learn about an open-source framework called "BabelFx" which centralizes all localization considerations and easily injects localized resources into your application at run time. When using BabelFx your application source code remains unchanged and maintainable... and adding another language to your application becomes fun and easy.
Introducing multi-lingual smart web Forms
Deploying a Rich Web Experience with engaging content and multiple screens is non trivial, time consuming, and expensive. Such deployments become significantly more challenging when the experience must include offer client-side validation, engaging experiences, animations, multi-page workflows, and more.
With web forms, your architecture now must consider form submissions and require server-side processing for form submission and file attachments. Then add to those requirements additional features for multi-language support, translations, and data tracking... and suddenly deploying web Forms can be a show stopper!
This session will contrast traditional web Forms with Smart Forms from ThunderBay software. Learn about the myriad issues that must be addressed when using Web forms. Learn about the significant issues of adding multilingual features to your forms.
Get a sneak preview of Insertables: the new Smart Form Platform from ThunderBay Software. With Insertables... create multi-page, multi-language smart forms in minutes with the FormDesigner. Easily deploy your smart form to any site or page (WordPress, CMS, internet, website, etc) with practically no changes to your existing site or web page.
