Developer Resources

Introduction

This section of the site contains resources for developers. Some software developed by EnAppSys is open-sourced to encourage wide-spread use, other software is closed-source. The philosophy is simple, where competitive advantage can be maintained by closing the source, for example to protect underlying data structures, business rules and intellectual property rights, the source will be closed, otherwise the source will be opened.

Weblog

A weblog is maintained where the latest modifications to the tools located in this section is documented. Bug-fixes, enhancements and new open-source resources will be discussed on the weblog. The weblog is located in the news section and can be accessed via this link.
