Event Management Made Simpler

As Eric mentioned recently, “We got a LOT done last year!”

With more than twenty new or enhanced features, the Q1 release of VitalSite focused on adding power and flexibility to VitalSite Calendar and Event Registration module.

We’ve discovered that each organization and department we work with has unique ways of handling registrations and payments. There is no “one right way” to manage events, even within a single organization. Events ranging from health education classes and screenings to continuing education, professional development, ...

2009: A Year of Speed and Innovation

As I sit reviewing a stack of VitalSite release notes two-inches thick I can’t help but think… Man! We got a LOT done last year!  And this isn’t even considering what our project managers, designers, content strategists, IT and marketing departments accomplished last year. This isn’t even touching on what our clients achieved last year. This is just looking at what our product team completed in 2009 – and wow, I’m impressed.

And it’s not just about quantity – we got a LOT ... Read More >>

The Palos project team and specialty experts were involved in the project right from the start, even before the onsite kick-off meetings. The Palos team was energized ... Read More >>

Nine Years

Nine years ago, Genesis Health System in Davenport, Iowa, took a chance and hired Geonetric to implement a newfangled “Content Management System” with a series of applications designed specifically for hospitals.

Pleasant Time

Having fun while working … what more can one ask for? That is the case for six developers from Geonetric, myself included. We were given an opportunity to attend the DevConnections Conference in Orlando during the midst of an economic downturn. This just proves Geonetric is willing to invest in its employees and continues to strive for excellence.

Sweet Validation

By Scott Youngblut, Application Developer

When developers are tasked with a difficult project, there are many resources to turn to; books and Google are the most widely used.  But what happens if those fail to provide the needed direction and guidance?  Many times you set down a path using your best judgment and hope everything works out in the end.

The recent DevConnections Conference, which I along with five of Geonetric’s developers attended, validated many of my feelings. During sessions on the ... Read More >>

Microsoft Developer Training Conference Emphasizes Windows Communication Foundation for Service-Oriented Applications

By Jim Kropa, Senior Application Developer

Of course, we expected to imbibe in a certain quantity of “the Microsoft Kool-Aid” when six Geonetric software developers traveled to Orlando for the three-day Microsoft DevConnections conference, but after the first day’s sessions in which Microsoft executives described the new features in forthcoming versions of their products, we were able to see how those new innovations match the larger trends in software delivered over the Internet, and how to prepare for further innovations.

Optimizing Code Reuse Between an Application and Database

By Jason Adams, Senior SQL Developer

Every good developer strives to reduce the amount of repeated code.  One area that has been difficult to tackle is the sharing of code between the application and the database.  Certain pieces of logic are typically repeated in the database. But when SQL Server 2005 was released, the ability to write .NET code in the database became a possibility, thus reducing the amount of repeated code. 

An often repeated code between the application and the database ... Read More >>
