I like to blog about current software design and development projects, as well as general everyday news and events. I'm passionate about what I do and you can follow my personal journey through my blog. I'm constantly on the lookout for new development techniques and technologies to keep on top of the changing market, so if I do miss anything feel free to leave me a comment.

CrossCollaborate

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

CrossCollaborate is a software solution that I developed in 2009 as a major project which was part of my Thesis, collectively known as CAPSTONE at the University of Technology, Sydney. CrossCollaborate is a network based diagramming tool which allows users to interact in real-time and work on one or multiple diagrams simultaneously. It is an easy to use application which supports single user mode that can be run without the server. The purpose of the application is to allow users to interact in real-time regardless of their physical location and share information.

Some features which have been implemented include cut/copy/paste, undo/redo, drag/drop, freely move and re-size objects on the surface, zoom-in/zoom-out and print/print preview. See the poster for more information.

The solution is entirely written in C# using an Object-Oriented approach. It is Event-Driven and is based on the Model-View-Controller and Client-Server architecture.
