Interactive Gantt Chart Software for Your Web Applications

Gantt software VARCHART XGantt ASP.NET and VARCHART JGantt JSF are two solutions offered by NETRONIC that let you add Gantt functionality to your web application.

Web applications are characterized by users' interactions being transmitted exclusively by web browsers and by parts of the application being executed on a web server. This requires the client and the server computer to be connected by the internet or an intranet when the application is run. Two apparent advantages result from this architecture:

• Additional software does not need to be installed on the users' computers, since merely a Java Script supporting webbrowser is required, which is present in most systems. This makes the client largely independent of platforms.
• The processing logics of a web application can be modified centrally in a single place which is the web server. This is most beneficial to maintenance.

It should be taken into account though that asynchronous request cycles directed to the web server encounter tighter limits, compared to desktop applications.

The Gantt software product to choose depends on two related things:

• The web server environment provided to your application
• The programming language that you intend to use for your web application

VARCHART XGantt ASP.NET supports the .NET platform and is therefore confined to the operating system of Windows. You can develop your applications in one of the available .NET languages such as C# or VB.NET.

VARCHART JGantt JSF is geared to the Java platform and thus less dependent of a defined operating system. Your applications need to be developed in the programming language of Java.

Web applications that offer the full set of interactions can be developed using VARCHART XGantt .NET and VARCHART JGantt JavaBean. They require the .NET or the Java runtime environment to be installed on the computers of the users.
