Project
Description:
DynaText is an
electronic book publishing system for SGML sources. mkbook program takes SGML sources as input and generates the book
tree in a proprietary binary format, with standard styles. Styles can then be
created and edited using InStEd
program. The browser then reads the book's tree structure and the styles from
the book directory structure and renders the book. DynaText is an
internationalised product using unicode for managing several charsets.
Contribution:
Being a senior member
in the team, was responsible for DynaText 3.1.1, a minor maintenance release,
DynaText 4.0, a major Feature release, and DynaText 4.1, a major maintenance
release. Besides regular team lead activities, was involved in designing and
implementing of several maintenance activities, build-meistering and new
features like GUI enhancements, printing enhancements. Several SGML processing
features are provided by a coretech group, which I integrate them into DynaText
browser code.
·
Xprint integration
for printing on HP-UX 10.20 on DynaText. This involves subclassing the existing
postscript printing classes and overriding some methods to use Xprint interfaces.
·

S/W Environment IBM
SmallTalkv3.0, Windows NT, ENVY, CRC
Description:
Caprera is a visual development framework to develop Mobile, remote and disconnected user applications. The major subsystems in it are the Visual Forms Manager to design GUI for Forms, DataSubsetting and creating workflow between the tasks. C++ like scripting language, to code various tasks was provided. Communication Manager subsystem was developed to communicate between the Caprera clients and Caprera Servers (middlte tier with Enterprise servers) using TCP/IP, VIM both for online and offline communication of forms, tasks and associated data, as scheduled.
Contribution:
I initiated specs and design of the Communication Manager SubSystem and implemented VIM transport manager. I designed the TCP/IP transport manager’s protocol as well. This protocol needs to keep the transmitted data persistent, so that if the connection breaks, the next connection can continue from where the last transmission stopped. I integrated the entire SubSytem with other subsystems for Caprera product. After one year’s onsite work, I left for India to work Offshore. I was leading a team of 4 developers to develop ATS (Automated Test System) to test various subsystems of Caprera. This is not for testing GUI. This has GUI to write Smalltalk scripts to test class API and accept input parameters, expected output parameters.
