The ISP division of Fusion Network Services Corporation, FUSION GOL, (HO: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiromi Imakoga) and StartForce, Inc. (HO California, U.S.A, CEO Chong Jin Koh) will be offering the API (Application Program Interface) to the public starting August 4th, 2006. This public offering of the Startforce API is part of the license agreement for research and development with StartForce, Inc.
With the launch of the API, StartForce is no longer just a provider for online storage and file sharing tools. It now has set its foot in building a full-stack framework for developing Web 2.0 applications, and forming a community for Web 2.0 application developers to connect with each other, exchange creative ideas, and publish their interesting projects to all StartForce users.
With the introduction of StartForce to Japan, FUSION GOL is inviting developers to design and build innovative applications on the StartForce platform while introducing users to this new realm and the power of AJAX. FUSION GOL is committed not only to supporting development, but to total user satisfaction and support.
With consistent and self-explanatory interface naming conventions and advanced modularization, the StartForce API is simple to learn and use, easily extensible and well maintained. Moreover, StartForce provides a set of comprehensive instructions which can get developers up to speed in no time.
With a free StartForce account, developers can instantly develop and test their applications on the StartForce platform. Simply upload the source code to the StartForce user account and the application can be run immediately. StartForce Text Editor allows developers to conveniently modify source code online, and the debug console and real-time logging also make debugging much easier.
Basic GUI components such as pop-up menu, drop-down menu, directory tree, etc, are available to developers for easy customization.
With File I/O support built-in to the API, developers have read/write access to their files from within the StartForce system via simple method calls. This allows developers to concentrate on their application logic by abstracting the details of I/O operations.
StartForce commits to maintaining the current API and updating it with more powerful functionalities in the future.
