Overview

Delta Designer© design phase rapidly clarifies expectations with an active presentation layer that requires no coding. Users and developers collaborate and progressively elaborate the project specifications. Technical specifications are automatically generated. Delta Designer© saves the presentation design in a resource file which is integrated into project development.

Design focuses on presentation details including forms, menus and presentation data structures without coding.  An active preview mode facilitates key stakeholder and developer collaboration.
