3. Why and how has Neoxen QX Framework been developed?
Development of Neoxen™ QX Framework started at 1994 and original operating environment was 32-bit OS/2. When Microsoft introduced Windows 95, the main parts were ported to Win32. Support for OS/2 was ceased at 1998.

The origin of Neoxen QX Framework was in the evolving need to fasten project development cycle. These design principles and visions have guided the development ever since. The globalization and increasingly versatile infrastructure even further emphasize the need for a small, fast and highly flexible development platform.

4. What benefits Neoxen QX Framework offers for developers?
There are many benefits to using the Neoxen QX Framework development environment:

  • It seamlessly supports all the Microsoft operating environments in the system level.
  • It is compliant with Microsoft Platform SDK, Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), Microsoft Visual Basic and many multi-platform development environments, such as wxWindows. Therefore it provides developers with an optimal path between existing and new generation systems.
  • It contains ready-made project, server and client templates, which significantly shorten the time-to-market and time-to-money spans.
  • It is small in size and it has small memory footprint. Modular object oriented structure results in economical, optimized code.
  • It is fully internationalized and therefore provides easy localization procedures for all the major language areas, including Far East.
These features, among others, make Neoxen QX Framework the chosen development platform for any programmer seeking for more competitive advantages in today’s rapidly evolving global markets.

7. Are Neoxen products utilizing Neoxen QX Framework?
Yes they are. All product development in the company is based on this foundation. The end user products, such as Neoxen Kronos, are good examples of this approach.

8. Are there competing products on the market?
There are some quite good development kits around, such as MFC or wxWindows. However, these are designed for and developed with C++, therefore their usage is slightly limited as far as supported programming languages are concerned. Neoxen QX Framework is more of unique by nature, as it is developed with C language and it exports a consistent C style call interface. This approach has many benefits. Neoxen QX Framework is small and fast and it supports wide range of programming languages directly without any additional layers. Moreover, Neoxen QX Framework is designed from ground up to be compatible with these other development kits.
