JavaScript, JavaScript, JS all the way!

Posted Wed, 11/28/2012 - 08:26 by jrogelstad

As many of you know we have been working hard on our next generation Mobile Web client platform that will enable xTuple users to use the application through a browser on both desktop and mobile devices. What you may not know is that this is the first business management system written that uses JavaScript in all layers including the database, the data service and at the application layer. You may be asking yourself a couple questions: First, "Are you crazy?" and second "Why is this a good thing?"

Introduction (and questions!)

Posted Fri, 10/26/2012 - 16:29 by peted
Web Manager's (b)Log. TIMESTAMP: 1351287060.

I'm not the newest face at xTuple any more, but this is my first official blog post as the Web Manager. I consider this role the "best of both worlds" because I get to work with creative-types and technical-types, and merge thoughts from both worlds into content and functionality on the web sites.

My main objective is to improve the usability and the appearance of xTuple Web sites. You have probably noticed the new look on xTuple.com -- on which I've been putting the finishing touches over the past couple of months. Soon we'll implement a similar design change on this site.

If you can spare a minute, please help me get my bearings on xTuple.org by answering a few of these questions, either by responding to this post, or by using my personal contact form on xTuple.org. Your answers may help guide the upcoming site realignment as well as future functionality enhancements here on xTuple.org. Read more »

Posted Tue, 10/09/2012 - 16:01 by bcwilson

Ardent xTuple-watchers may have noticed that we've had a longer-than-usual development cycle for our upcoming 4.0 release. When the final release arrives in a few months it will coincide with the release of our mobile/web client, which has been a huge development effort. At the same time, we have been developing some new features that will tune the product for the Wholesale Distribution market. We just released an unusual 3rd Beta of the upcoming xTuple 4.0 and it is loaded with features that are designed to quietly revolutionize the product, especially for distribution businesses.  Read more »

Your database can talk and xTuple can listen

Posted Fri, 09/21/2012 - 15:57 by mro

We're excited to present a new feature in which the database can tell the xTuple client to do things. Up until now, this was a one-directional channel of communication from the client to the database. However, we've utilized Postgres' "NOTIFY/LISTEN" functionality to send push notifications to xTuple. xTuple hears the notification and does something based on the notification's name.

You're probably wondering what this means for you. Read more »

A Shorter Letter

Posted Mon, 07/23/2012 - 17:44 by jrogelstad
Enyo, Hewlett-PackardA couple years ago I learned of what is now one of my favorite quotes from one of our senior developers, Gil Moskowitz. I asked him why a particular development resulted in so much code and complexity. He referred to a quote from Blaise Pascal: "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time."
 
As many of you know, we've been hard at work on our new Mobile Web client. For much of this year the plan has been to base the client on Blossom, a fork of SproutCore, that we sponsored to evolve that framework to a mobile-ready platform. We debuted our new client running on Blossom at the OSBC and FluentJS conferences in May. A funny thing happened on the way to fame and fortune at those conferences. We discovered a better framework called Enyo.
