The Sequentum Developer Framework

The Sequentum developer framework is a collection of software tools that aid in building robust applications for the .NET platform. Development speed and robustness are the keywords of our framework

The cornerstone of our framework is two tool sets we call Sequentum SQL Sharp and Sequentum Auto Forms. SQL Sharp is a tool set to generate robust data access layers and we use Auto Forms to generate web pages and forms.

Sequentum SQL Sharp

Sequentum SQL Sharp has been designed to make data access easy, structured and robust.

Some software architects and DBAs may try to enforce strict rules on developers and introduce data access frameworks such as Hibernate to try and achieve application robustness. However, such rules and frameworks often make life difficult for software developers, because they lose ease-of-use and flexibility, so the rules can be hard to enforce.

SQL Sharp makes it so easy for the software developers to access a database that they would never want to use any other approach, which makes it easy to ensure the application robustness that SQL Sharp provides.

SQL Sharp is more than just a robust data access layer. It includes functionality to ensure continuing consistency between an application and a database. This drastically reduces runtime errors caused by changed database structures or by inconsistency between a developer database and a production database.

Sequentum Auto Forms

Sequentum Auto Forms is an ASP.NET framework that automatically builds and configures the basic functionality of a professional web application.

After the basic web application has been setup, Auto Forms can be used to add web forms and web pages to the application. Auto Forms automatically builds the web pages based on data structures in a database, and automatically uses SQL Sharp to generate a robust data access layer.

Sequentum Auto Forms has hundreds of options we can use to finetune the generated web pages, and if a web page requires even more customization then we can hand code the last changes to a page.
