Concept: The system consists of 2 parts: development environment SDS and the actual application NOXQS. SDS is the three letter acronym for Simple Design System, made by Willy De la Cour of Quint/linux-lovers.be Originally meant as content managament system, it was extended to development environment for complete applications. One uses a browser to work in the invironment. Elements as fields, texts and lists can be positioned on the screen, and php code can be added, etc. |
Noxqs is been made inside this SDS environment; the result for the user is a "webpage", of course viewed with a browser. The server platform it works on is a combination of GNU/Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP and the client side, as seen before, a browser. |
Code of SDS and NOXQS are mostly in the database (Called "NOXQS" - formerly called "SDS" but this fixed name prevented from installing several applications or versions next to each other on the server). Even the code of the application that is being developed ends up in the database, you could see the application as an extention of SDS. Another database contains the data, managed by the application (here NOXQS_DB). |
