Advanced Scripting Framework (ASF) 2.1
If you're after information on regular websites, click here.
The Advanced Scripting Framework (ASF) 1.2 provides a simple-to-use, yet highly robust platform for the development and granular management of complex on-line applications. In its unmodified form, the framework provides:
- Database interactivity
- Full configuration management
- Effective user and user group management
- Comprehensive public-facing website management
- Pre-built classes for Rapid Application Development (RAD)
This framework can be quickly expanded to include virtually any type of database interaction or application. The nature of the framework’s modular layout lends itself to rapid class development and provides developers with all of the tools required to effectively create new, client-specific modules and plug-ins.
Website Content Management
This system supplies the administrator / content creator with a series of fixed layout templates, with “blocks” that can be individually edited without affecting page layouts. The highly visual nature of the page management and editing console makes this system an absolute pleasure to use.
Page layout templates are pre-defined using XML and CSS. These templates force strict adherence to a layout style. As a result, sites using this platform tend to be more visually consistent and significantly easier (and cheaper) to maintain long term.
Each system can support tens-of-thousands of page layout templates and templates can be added at any time by any competent programmer or web designer. Your company is not limited to using Advanced Scripting post-project should it desire to add additional layout templates at a later date.
