Integrates with Visual Studio 2005 What is better than using the best programming IDE in the world for the new user interface development approach? Himalia Guilder integrates smoothly with Visual Studio 2005, adding a new project type with its own designers for each model. The designers were made using Microsoft DSL Tools. 
WinFx Ready The Himalia Runtime for WinFx (using WPF) is available! Himalia allows you to create next-generation user interfaces quickly, and is the best way to be ready for WPF and Vista. 
Platform-independent UI design The Himalia language and guilding process are platform independent; so, your models will be good for future runtimes like the Web. User interfaces are about users and software, not about implementation architectures. What do you think? Massive pattern usage Himalia is pattern-oriented. Models use patterns, enable you to use patters and make it easy to add new patterns. You can easily redo everything using templates. Many HCI patterns are covered in the control libraries, and all you have to do is drag & drop them. Semantic UI The Himalia user interface definition (.hui xml file) runs interpreted, allowing the Runtime to know exactly what each concept is on screen. The Runtime knows if you are viewing an invoice, a pet, a shopping cart or whatever. With dragOn we will take real advantage of it by enabling semantic drag & drop between different user interfaces. High abstraction level design-time errors At design time, Himalia Guilder can make suggestions in a high level language. User interface validation includes, for example, cognitive validation: how many concepts is the user viewing each time? Only Himalia can do that. |
