About the Client :

  • Textbooks

A huge background that makes it one of most complete spanish publishers, with a high quality standard and stimulating spanish culture.

Project Description :

Development of an online version of Spanish language and bilingual (Spanish-English, Spanish-Portuguese) dictionaries. This project implies two Website developments, one for the Spanish language dictionary and another one for bilingual dictionaries. Besides, one version for mobile devices of these bilingual dictionaries was developed as well.

Project technologies :

.NET, J2ME

Challenges :

Development of a Website that shows dictionary information in a simple and dinamic way, and of a simple but powerful BackOffice to manage related information. From mobile devices point of view, finally developed with J2ME technology, our main challenge was to obtain a maximum compatibility with different devices and a good performance and simplicity of the application.
