Overview

NIMSpro™ Development

The documents below are the development design documents used to create NIMSpro™ version 1.x. These documents may not accurately reflect the final release version due to design changes during the development process, however they should be very close and thus helpful.

• Development Statechart: Programmatic Architecture (PDF 232.74 Kb)
• Development Database Schema: Database Field Descriptions (TXT 9.51 Kb)
• Development Query Catalog: Query SQL (DOC 90.0 Kb)
• Development Database Writes: Write SQL (DOC 24.58 Kb)
• Development Database ERD Diagram: NIMSpro ERD (PDF 366.33 Kb)

Change BLOG

The Design Change BLOG will keep up to date on NIMSpro™ design and development changes.

Helpful Tools

The following is provided by NIMSpro™ designers to list some of the more helpful tools they use for application development or simulation design.

MySQL Tools

• Navicat™ - Navicat™ is a fantastic database tool for working with SQL databases, specifically MySQL databases in the case of NIMSpro™. It is very inexpensive (about $100), and can save endless hours of frustration trying to develop, administer, maintain, or create MySQL databases. The original NIMSpro™ database schema (including queries) was implemented using this tool. A great tool if you're not a script person and prefer visual interfaces.
• phpMyAdmin - This is a solid and commonly used tool for MySQL database administration. It's not quite as easy or visual as Navicat, but as Open Source it is free.
