Release Study Projects
Both study projects, CodeDOM for Eclipse and Fluxograma, turned out nicely. The students have learned to deal with flexible requirements and how to conquer new technologies. Even tough not yet complete, show both products essential aspects solved and the way to a successful finish being able to invest more time. Congratulations to all four students. 12 Jul 2007
Study Project: CodeDOM for Eclipse
Another approach to generate an XML representation from Java source code with Eclipse. The XML Schema should be modeled to represent the structure of the CodeDOM namespace in the DotNet Framework. Is it possible to map all the Java concepts into the CodeDOM model? Some code patterns will probably ask for a closer look. 2 Apr 2007
Study Project: fluxograma
Interactive Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) with AJAX maybe allows to bring a Web GUI even closer to the desktop. Two students at HSR will give this approach a try with their study project fluxograma, a simple Web based flow chart tool as a proof of concept. 2 Apr 2007
venture lab
In the implementation phase of LivCos we need a skilled development team. So FeurerWorks needs to learn how to grow into a software forge. The venture lab seems to offer support in this area. 29 Mar 2007
Study Project: CodeML
In this study project two students at HSR are facing the challenge to represent Java source code in a XML dialect. Realized as an Eclipse plug-in the working source text should be easily made available to XSLT processors or other ways of further processing. 23 Oct 2006
CrewLink at Swiss International Airlines
A Crew information portal at Swiss to interface to several flight data management systems in the back end. Six months of intensive work with ASP.NET 2.0, DataSets, XML, XSLT and XSL-FO from the data layer up to the Web user interface. 4 Sep 2006
LivCos Lite becomes heavy
With an extensive redesign LivCos forms the base for a bigger application framework. The "lite" name appendix is no longer appropriate. 1 Feb 2006
New Design for www.feurerworks.com
The page design, simple, informative and well structured. No fancy banners or floods of loosely related information. Unfortunately there is still a stunning picture missing. It should message a closer union of human (red circle) and computer (blue circle) as the major objective of FeurerWorks. 22 May 2005
Beer & Anderegg Achitects
A Web page for ambitious achitects, an extraordinary design with interactive effects. New projects and content can be easily added even with their Powerbooks. 14 Dec 2004

Aspect Oriented Redesign
Aspect oriented programming contains some convincing ideas and I am eager to "proper" design the LivCos Lite source base. 9 Aug 2004
Alcatel 5451 CIMT
The code review at Alcatel has turned out to be a good investment for the company. Several issues have been discovered and the highly multi-threaded process could be optimized greatly. Additional coaching has made the necessary changes clear. 30 Apr 2004
Study Project: Spelling Checker for LivCos Lite
In a study project two students at HSR add a spelling checker feature to the LivCos Lite project. 27 Oct 2003
