Open Source Application Development and Maintenance (ADM)


 
 

Open Source software is changing IT in a fundamental way with regular increasing competition by connecting their developers directly. This has resulted in some of the most stable and widely used software in the IT history. Open Source technology enables anyone to examine and develop the source code. This process has resulted in highly reliable, secure and high-performance applications.
Today, Open Source initiatives are equally competitive compared with any other proprietary solution frameworks or development platforms and profoundly leaping ahead by way of the approval of clients.
Aghreni’s initiatives on Open Source based development practice are advanced over years in response to growing demands from global clients. Today, the team has a matured setup and that has established proven proficiency helping clients to apprehend the power of Open Source based solutions.


Why Open Source?

 

Open Source based development and solution offers larger benefits:

  • No License charges
  • Higher constancy
  • Right of entry protection
  • Higher performance
  • Better functionality

 

The Advantage of Aghreni’s Open Source Competency center:

 

  • Providing technical solutions implementing Open Source technology platform that helps in meeting technical challenges
  • Resolving problems faced in applying open Source technology
  • Establishing a forum for knowledge sharing among developers
  • Building competency in chosen application servers and services

 

Aghreni’s Open Source Competency Center can help you:

 

  • Build various custom online solutions for your business needs with proper guidance from Aghreni’s open source technocrats and experts
  • Exceptional Cost advantage by reusing and customizing various open source frameworks and solutions as mentioned above
  • We realize your dream and meet your business expectation with fast, reliable and quality service.

 

Choosing an Open Source platform for your application can lessen your overall technology risk and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) & development and long-term maintenance.

 

Some of the Capabilities of open source languages:


PERL:

  • Perl runs basic CGI and is the language that made CGI ubiquitous on the web.
  • mod_perl is an advanced implementation of Perl that runs in the Apache web server. It provides extremely fast performance and full access to Apache internals via Perl.
  • DB interaction: Perl provides an excellent interface to nearly all available databases, along with an abstraction layer that allows you to switch databases without re-writing all of our code.
  • re-usable code architecture (modules, OO, etc.): Perl is architected to allow and encourage re-use. The core block of re-use, the module, makes it very easy to leverage business logic across platforms in web applications, batch scripts, and all sorts of integration components.
  • CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, is one of the largest repositories of free code in the world. CPAN.org, a massive collection of perl modules that can do almost anything, someone has usually done the work for you. If you need a particular type of functionality, chances are there are several options on the CPAN, and there are no fees or ongoing costs for using it.
  • Multi-use: Perl can be used to develop Web apps, batch processing, data analysis and text manipulation, command-line utilities and apps, GUI apps.
  • Multi-language integration: can interact with C, C++, Java, etc. from within Perl code.
  • Multi-platform: Perl runs on Linux, MS Windows and all of the platforms listed here: http://www.cpan.org/ports/

 

PHP

  • Server-side scripting: PHP was originally designed to create dynamic web content, and it is still best suited for that task. To generate HTML, you need the PHP parser and a web server to send the documents. PHP has also become popular for generating XML documents, graphics, Flash animations, PDF files, and more.
  • Command-line scripting: PHP can run scripts from the command line, much like Perl, awk, or the Unix shell. You might use the command-line scripts for system administration tasks, such as backup and log parsing.

 

  • Client-side GUI applications: Using PHP-GTK (http://gtk.php.net), you can write full-blown, cross-platform GUI applications in PHP.

 

Python

  • Simple

Python is a simple and minimalistic language. Reading a good Python program feels almost like reading English, although very strict English! This pseudo-code nature of Python is one of its greatest strengths. It allows you to concentrate on the solution to the problem rather than the language itself.

  • Portable

Due to its open-source nature, Python has been ported (i.e. changed to make it work on) to many platforms. All your Python programs can work on any of these platforms without requiring any changes at all if you are careful enough to avoid any system-dependent features.

You can use Python on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Macintosh, Solaris, OS/2, Amiga, AROS, AS/400, BeOS, OS/390, z/OS, Palm OS, QNX, VMS, Psion, Acorn RISC OS, VxWorks, PlayStation, Sharp Zaurus, Windows CE and even PocketPC !

  • Extensive Libraries

The Python Standard Library is huge indeed. It can help you do various things involving regular expressions, documentation generation, unit testing, threading, databases, web browsers, CGI, ftp, email, XML, XML-RPC, HTML, WAV files, cryptography, GUI (graphical user interfaces), Tk, and other system-dependent stuff. Remember, all this is always available wherever Python is installed. This is called the 'Batteries Included' philosophy of Python.     Besides, the standard library, there are various other high-quality libraries such as wxPython, Twisted, Python Imaging Library and many more.
