Microsoft Windows Software Development Services from Valiant Technologies, Inc.

Microsoft Windows Development Services

We have over 15 years of combined experience in developing Microsoft Windows based applications. Dr. Nelson has been doing Windows development since Version 1.1 was released in the mid-1980s and Mr. Bouvier has been formally trained in the Microsoft Foundation Classes. We are experienced in not only the mechanics and subtleties of Windows development, but also in the elements of the human-computer interface which is critical to developing useable applications in a graphical user environment. Our experience base and qualifications are normally only available at companies like Microsoft.

Dr. Nelson is intimately familiar with the Windows API structure and has written hundreds of thousands of lines of Windows code. His experience covers all aspects of the Windows implementation, including real-time services. His work over the years has been primarily in the development of niche applications that deal with large data sets. Applications that can handle thousands to millions of data points in a user interactive manner are not readily available. His formal education in the physical sciences has allowed him to quickly grasp what is needed to address even the most complex problems.

Specific examples of our work (with FREE samples) are:

FlexiDex (tm): Tired of fighting the complexities of expensive personal information managers when all you really want is quick access to a phone number? Take a look at FlexiDex: A Simple Rolodex System that Works for Windows 95 or Windows NT.
ADCoS: The Automated Data Collection System was written to be a highly robust and extensible data logging application. This application, originally written for Windows 1.1 and migrated over the years to Windows 3.1 where the development has currently ended, incorporates a multitude of sophisticated algorithms for such things as graphing, incorruptible file storage, and user interaction. A more detailed description, as well as a demonstration version of the program, can be found on the ADCoS web page.
THRIFT: The Thermal Radiation Information Format software was written for the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) in order to address their specific data storage, rendering, and analysis needs. The THRIFT program implements the THRIFT data file format developed by Dr. Nelson and is discussed in more detail in the THRIFT web page. The THRIFT program deals with multiple channels of data in large data sets, often with a variable sampling rate. These elements are hidden from the user who simply sees a continuous data set that can be graphed, reduced, tabulated, and trimmed. The program is also designed to deal with the batch mode processing requirements that are typical of a large scale experimental systems.
BUD: The Monologue Speech Assistant was written for my second cousin Bud Hamilton who had Lou Gehrig's Disease, also known as ALS. The program is designed to help the speech and motor impaired. It allows the user to build up sentences using word and phrase pick lists. The program makes use of an advanced adaptive word prediction algorithm so that the user is presented with the most likely candidates for the next word in the phrase under construction based on previous usage. The program operates in the Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment and uses Monologue for Windows 1.5 OEM for the speech generation. A more detailed description can be found on the Monologue Speech Assistant web page

Windows Utility Software

As you know, Windows is lacking a number of handy elements that could make our lives so much simpler. Here are some of the more useful utilities that I have written over the years. All the programs are zipped and are compiled for Windows 3.1. This list will grow as I take the time to move my utilities to the FTP server and write up instructions on them.

The lbcopy utility (version 1.4, 6K bytes) allows you to copy the text from most windows including listboxes and comboboxes (but not the file manager window as of yet) with just a couple of mouse clicks.

We have written device drivers and literally hundreds of applets over the years for everything from changing wallpaper to performing teleteaching over narrow-bandwidth communications lines (less than 2400 baud). There are very few Windows elements in which we do not have some level of expertise. We are well positioned to deal with all your custom software needs in this highly complex and ever growing environment. By taking advantage of our qualifications you can get a level of software developed that would normally be nearly impossible to achieve.
