< develop > A Few Words About Development Web development is generally characterized as the behind-the-scenes function of a website or application. There are many ways to accomplish the functionality for your project, but the solution - the meat and potatoes programming that makes it all work - is defined by existing hardware & software requirements, usability definition and testing. And oftentimes, Iziks Interactive authors these platforms using our fast-changing industry's greatest teacher: experience. The development must synchronize seamlessly with the design, or the functionality suffers. If the front end presentation is the "completed puzzle" ... then the development of that presentation is all the pieces, working together, connection, to create that final, fluid expression. Your expression. And many time, your first impression.

Flash Applications In its early inception, Flash was merely a tool to create animations and eye candy. Unfortunately, a few people still have that impression of Flash and have become turned off to the use of the product because of its gross and gratuitous overuse in the past for seemingly useless purposes. The good news: Adobe has enhanced the product functionality by ten fold. Flash is now the premiere tool for interactive multimedia design. Current benefits of use include: vector graphic output results in tremendously small file sizes, the plug-in in installed on 98% of all computer, and the outputted solution is cross browser compatible. Flash shouldn't be considered a tool for producing mere eye candy animation, but the product now has provided support for the development of rich internet applications. Flash now has the ability to communicate and display data from any data source such as a web server database, opening up the possibilities of producing big-boy applications entirely within Flash. With the graphical design and interaction presentation that Flash offers and the ability to create database driven applications, web design and development possibilities have been greatly expanded.
