Cross Platform Language Layer in Ecommerce Applications

Software languages and development platforms used in DOTNUTSHELL‘s eCan product
Computer technologies and their functionality are an important aspect of any Information Systems and Technology project due to the potential performance and functional gains that it provides. This section will compare the available technologies and whether they are executable and will specify the drains on the resources. The licensing issues, hardware requirements and feasibility will be considered.
Background information on hardware and software
Enterprise level Operating systems such as, RedHat Enterprise 4.0 and Windows Server System require reasonable high-specification computer systems to run on due to the inherent drag on resources as the systems are used by remote clients and local administrators to serve websites, active directories and synchronise Windows and NIS authentication systems.
The average server systems these days comprise of:
Intel (or equivalent) CPU ~ 2.1Ghz
1Ghz RAM
NFS/Samba Share or 80GB HDD
Peripherals
o CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
o Back-up Tape Drives
o NIC Interface (10/100/1000 Mbps)
Average server software installations include:
Enterprise Server
Windows Server System
Windows 2000/NT
Windows Server 2003
Enterprise Linux
RedHat Enterprise 4.0
CentOS
Debian Sarge
Ubuntu Enterprise
NetBSD/FreeBSD
o WebServer
o Shared Resources
o Shared I/O
Enterprise-class products are those that have specific functionalities embedded in the core aspects of the software to allow administrators to control the use of the network and the available resources. There are “free” (as in “free” to use and “free” to share) distributions as well as “paid-for” products which often include support contracts and priority security updates delivered directly to the system using advanced transparent delivery mechanisms.
There are several points that must be considered:
Price
Availability
Scalability
Features
Frequency of updates
License Type
o OpenSource GNU licences
o Closed-source proprietary licenses
.NET framework
Mono .NET framework provides developers with the programming power and flexibility to engineer applications for Windows and Linux while maintaining cross-platform capabilities that have previously only been thought to exist with Java and the Sun JVM. One of the great advantages of Mono is that it allows developers and engineers to cross-compile and thus, develop applications which can theoretically function properly on both Windows and Linux.
Cross-Language Interface Layer
It is aim to utilise some advanced features available in several semantically different languages. This can only be achieved by creating a Cross-Language Interface Layer, which will allow the various languages to function together properly. This will require the usage of messaging systems and pointer passing to allow the transfer of data from one programming language to the other.
PHP and Perl both allow the dynamic loading of Linux Shared libraries directly at run-time which will allows the creation of entry points for those specific languages. ASP.NET will require either the creation of COM classes which are installed as system-wide libraries or the usage of Dynamic Linked libraries (DLLs) which can be loaded at run-time.
Reasons for the application of multiple languages and their benefits:
PHP:
PHP is extremely simple and has advanced features.
PHP has excellent text processing features, from the POSIX Extended or Perl regular expressions to parsing XML documents.
For parsing and accessing XML documents, PHP 4 supports SAX and DOM standards. The XSLT extension can also be used to transform XML documents. PHP 5 standardizes all the XML extensions on the solid base of libxml2 and extends the feature set by adding the SimpleXML and XMLReader support.
Integrated MAIL function.
Perl:
Perl is structurally similar to C-like languages
Excellent regular expression handling and pattern matching functions
Excellent extensibility
Easily embeddable into command shell
Common language semantics
TCL:
Fast access to shell and system commands
Rapid Development platform
Extensible
A large database of OpenSource Libraries
.NET:
Core Microsoft Languages allowing Intercommunication
A large array of Database connectivity functions
Compiled instead of interpreted
Access to Microsoft foundation classes
Provides some interoperability with Java
The Cross-Language Interface Layer will aim to provide interface functionality for all these languages either through XML interpretation of scripts or via core changes made to specific Open Source distribution.

Microsoft .Net Framework – The Framework Of Efficient Web Development Platform
Dec 16th
Web development services in India use Microsoftâs .net framework extensively to design user-friendly websites that can be accessed by different platforms/client machines. Given in the benefits that it offers, more and more web development services have started to use .net lately.
.Net benefits
.Net framework is compatible with many programming languages such as C++, C#, VB etc. Although Java EE has now paved way for the usage of various programming languages, the primary programming language used is Java. Easier web configuration, easier web settings, easier compilation of procedures and easier deployment of applications. Supports caching making the updates on websites available in real-time. The developer has a stronger control over the application sequence. A common library facilitates a centralized organization and assists the developer to implement an application in the least possible steps.
The key design features or the fundamental designing aspects of Microsoft .NET framework include:
Common runtime engine: .NET framework compiles the programming languages on it into an intermediate language i.e. Common Intermediate Language, CIL. The intermediate language isnât interpreted; instead it is compiled into native code in a manner known as just-in-compilation (JIT).
Language agnostic feature: The Common Type System or CTS, introduced in the Microsoft .NET framework makes it language independent. The specification of CTS defines all possibilities of programming constructs and data types supported by the CLR and the ways of their interaction with each other.
Interoperability: A feature which paves ways to access functionality implemented in programs that may execute outside the environment of .NET is provided in some versions of Microsoft .NET framework. This is helpful in bridging the gap between the older and new applications too.
Base class library (BCL): Classes encapsulating various common functions, graphic rendering, database interaction, XML document manipulation, and file reading/writing are incorporated into this part of the Framework Class Library (FCL). BCL is a library of various functions that is available to the different .NET languages.
Security: .NET framework has a common security model for all applications.
Portability: The .NET framework is designed so to be theoretically platform independent. Cross platform compatibility is another noteworthy feature of .NET framework.
The first version – Microsoft .net framework 1.0 was launched in 2002 and since then there have been several improved and updated version of .net framework been released in the market, adding to the convenience of web site development services. Indeed, .net framework has proved to be a boon to web development services and has changed the way websites are developed today.
