Abstract

A method and system for providing a web platform configured to assist in a development of a web application. The method includes developing a core layer of a web development software stack including first bundles organized into a first bundle group by an underlying web framework, developing a ket layer of the web development software stack including second bundles organized into the first bundle group by the underlying web framework, developing an application layer of the web development software stack including third bundles organized into a second bundle group by the underlying web framework, and allowing modification of code for each of the core layer, ket layer and application layer exclusively by web developers having a respective classification of a plurality of different classifications. The system includes various hardware components configured to perform the method for providing the web platform.

Claims

1. A method for providing a web platform configured to assist in a development of a web application, comprising:

developing a core layer of a web development software stack comprising first bundles organized into a first bundle group by an underlying web framework;

developing a ket layer of the web development software stack comprising second bundles organized into the first bundle group by the underlying web framework;

developing an application layer of the web development software stack comprising third bundles organized into a second bundle group by the underlying web framework; and

allowing modification of code for each of the core layer, ket layer and application layer exclusively by web developers having a respective classification of a plurality of different classifications.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first bundles are organized into a toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide core operational functionalities for a system.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the second bundles are organized into the toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide business logic and operations for the system.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the third bundles are organized into a vendor bundle group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide display logic for a system.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising developing a first application programming interface (“

API”

) layer between the core layer and the ket layer to facilitate communication between the core layer and the ket layer.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising developing a second application programming interface (“

API”

) layer between the ket layer and the application layer to facilitate communication between the ket layer and the application layer.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the second API layer is configured such that communication between the application layer and the ket layer is unidirectional from the application layer to the ket layer.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the application layer is further configured to access one or more of the second bundles from the ket layer.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

developing a source application programming interface (“

API”

) related to a web application to be implemented;

providing at least a portion of the source API to a first work environment associated with generating an application source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the application layer; and

providing at least a portion of the source API to a second work environment associated with generating a ket source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the ket layer.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising combining the application source code and the ket source code thereby resulting in the web application to be developed.

11. A system for polling a device comprising:

a processing device; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium in communication with the processing device, the computer readable medium comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to;

develop a core layer of a web development software stack comprising first bundles organized into a first bundle group by an underlying web framework,

develop a ket layer of the web development software stack comprising second bundles organized into the first bundle group by the underlying web framework,

develop an application layer of the web development software stack comprising third bundles organized into a second bundle group by the underlying web framework, and

allow modification of code for each of the core layer, ket layer and application layer exclusively by web developers having a respective classification of a plurality of different classifications.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first bundles are organized into a toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide core operational functionalities for a system.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the second bundles are organized into the toolbox group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide business logic and operations for the system.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the third bundles are organized into a vendor bundle group and comprise one or more code segments configured to provide display logic for a system.

15. The system of claim 11, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to develop a first application programming interface (“

API”

) layer between the core layer and the ket layer to facilitate communication between the core layer and the ket layer.

16. The system of claim 11, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to develop a second application programming interface (“

API”

) layer between the ket layer and the application layer to facilitate communication between the ket layer and the application layer.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the second API layer is configured such that communication between the application layer and the ket layer is unidirectional from the application layer to the ket layer.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the application layer is further configured to access one or more of the second bundles from the ket layer.

19. The system of claim 11, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to:

develop a source application programming interface (“

API”

) related to a web application to be implemented;

provide at least a portion of the source API to a first work environment associated with generating an application source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the application layer; and

provide at least a portion of the source API to a second work environment associated with generating a ket source code comprising one or more code segments for execution within the ket layer.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising one or more programming instructions for causing the processing device to combine the application source code and the ket source code thereby resulting in the web application to be developed.
