The Genesis Smart Client Framework was developed by Blue Marble, a South African software development house. The framework was developed as the means of distributing an application to a large wide-spread audience over the internet.
 
By providing a Dynamic Application Workspace, the framework allowed the development team to focus on developing task specific modules, while the framework dealt with keeping client software up to date with the latest version of the modules, and provided users access to modules they were allowed to work with.
 
The Genesis Smart Client Framework is a development framework that allows developers the freedom to focus on the functional requirement of the code instead of the mechanics of how to deliver a consistent enjoyable user experience. It consists of a server component which hosts Web Services providing a central business layer and access to the databases, a Web Site which is consumed while displaying web pages inside the Windows Client and of course the Windows Client that consumes all of the services to provide a rich user experience.
 
The Genesis Smart Client Framework is available for FREE and is Open Source. If you want support during your Development phase, you can purchase a Developer Service Level Agreement per developer, and if you want support for your Production deployment of a Genesis Hosted Application you can purchase a Production Service Level Agreement per installation. Both of the Service Level Agreements are optional.
 
You are more than welcome to download the source code and to use the Genesis Smart Client Framework completely free of charge. It is Open Source.
