The final product was a web based (XML, JavaScript, XSL) application which used the concept of asynchronous data islands managed through JavaScript (essentially AJAX 0.1).The best part of the project was not the application itself, but the code generator which I wrote to assist the process: the code generator took three months to refine. The first version of the CRM, even though it had a complex data design, took four weeks to produce.Appleton, and the work I did there, is one of the highlights of my career. Show less
