Development Platforms

Uniway's expertise encompasses all the major IT platforms.

The objective of our organisation is to have the latest state of the art knowledge and competence in house for all the major IT platforms and to have a clear view on existing and emerging technologies in order to respond to each customer's specific requirements.  

Java/J2EE

The Java technology is an object-oriented, platform-independent, multithreaded programming environment. It is the foundation for Web and networked services, applications, platform-independent desktops, robotics, and other embedded devices. 

Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) defines the standard for developing component-based multitier enterprise applications. J2EE simplifies building enterprise applications that are portable, scalable, and that integrate easily with legacy applications and data. J2EE is also a platform for building and using web services. It incorporates web services standards such as those in the WS-I Basic Profile. This means that web services in a J2EE-compliant environment can interoperate with web services in non-J2EE environments such as .net.

Microsoft .Net

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a component of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. It is the foundation of the next generation of Windows-based applications.

The .NET Framework improves Windows software development. It provides developers with a single approach to build both desktop applications-sometimes called smart client applications-and Web-based applications. It also enables developers to use the same tools and skills to develop software for a variety of systems ranging from handheld smartphones to large server installations.

Software built on the .NET Framework can be easier to deploy and maintain. Applications can be designed to automatically upgrade themselves to the latest version. The .NET Framework can also minimize conflicts between applications by helping incompatible software components coexist.

Open Source Software (Linux, PHP, Python...)

Open source refers to computer software and the availability of its source code under the GNU General Public License to study, change, and improve its design.

Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public and anyone can freely use, modify, and redistribute it.

PHP (officially "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. It is mainly used for developing server-side applications and dynamic web content. The PHP model can be seen as an alternative to Microsoft's ASP.NET/C#/VB.NET system, Macromedia's ColdFusion system, Sun Microsystems' JSP/Java system...
