For the ultimate in productivity we code primarily in Borland language implementations: Borland C++, C++ Builder and Delphi. We've been working with Borland tools since the release of Turbo Pascal in 1983. We already do high performance. Now that Kylix is available we're well set for high cross-platform performance.

Alstonlabs.com has been involved with consumer oriented software since the early 1990's, some of which is self-published. We've also provided code for retail names as diverse as Knowledge Adventure, Arts & Letters, Memorex, and Packard Bell. Our self published consumer titles rank among the most popular on the internet in their class and are awarded the highest possible ratings by both professional reviewers and consumers. (This is not mere hype; we can prove it.) We continue to develop consumer products and to date have well over one hundred thousand users via shareware and retail marketing.

Industrial/corporate customers over the years have included name brand and Fortune 500 companies such as IBM, Ford, Motorola, and AT&T, as well as smaller but just as recognizable corporate names.

The bottom line? Alstonlabs.com has a proven track record in software engineering.

Spring 2002 UPDATE: In conjunction with Custom Computer Services in Sioux Falls, SD, we've completed a 3D visualisation and modeling tool for building construction and pricing for Reaves Buildings, a supplier of construction industry solutions. This software allows users to easily construct complex buildings on screen in mere minutes. Users can then look at them in full 3D, toggling parameters as needed (e.g. insulation, siding, foundations, etc. can be shown or not as needed.) The system also prices the building accordingly for accurate quotes. This system is a true breakthrough in the industry, accomplishing in minutes what used to take days. The 3D portion was developed with FastGraph, a fast and simple alternative to DirectX, allowing easy installation and operation on even slow machines. 3D screen shots are available at the FastGraph site.


AlstonLabs.com Utilities

Here's a set of utilities that cover a wide variety of everyday needs for those who want or need a bit more than what Windows and/or typical consumer software provides. Includes cool and effective things that programmers, Q/A engineers, and other professionals can use.

"What's particularly useful to me as a sysad is your notebook (only intelligent windows based programmer's editor I've seen outside of the one in the Borland suite, and this one is better, being generalized.) An editor with SQL functions is what everyone's been looking for. Well, maybe not everyone, but a lot of Systems Administrators with orders to manipulate columns in windows and like it." -- F.J.
