FLEx Bridge

FLEx Bridge is a suite of packaged resources that, through Chorus (an equally open-source, free-of-cost resource) that allow remote connection establishing for FieldWorks users.

The package contains language-specific, localization-formated resources for the language management desktop app FieldWorks, available on its end in different languages as well.

What is interesting about both the FLEx Bridge architecture, the components, and the correlation technology (implemented with the help of Chorus) is that remote connectivity can be established outside the network.

The code is almost entirely written in C# and is based on a complex architecture structure that provides means for communication between a FieldWorks client instance and XML package for data transmission.

Not only information shareability is obtained through this ingenious implementation with the dedicated packages and the custom library Chorus. Equally, a revision history and version control implementation is available to the FieldWorks clients.

The building principles of this system include an extra development layer implemented and deployed onto a raw version control system structure. The extra layer, conducted through Chorus as well, provides extended functionality for silent data synchronizations, device, and participant automatic sync, user-friendly, in-app change and conflict history, remote file manipulations, and more.

As such, if you are a language learner or trying to establish a remote connection for FieldWorks clients, this package is for you.

Also, if you are interested in learning how to, and possibly implementing on your own, download the FieldWorks app and use the FLEx Bridge tool to test the remote connectivity implementation.
