Software developers are invited to use the source code of the DWB to set up their own software applications, e. g. for domain-specific purposes and start cooperative projects with the DWB developer team. They are encouraged to use the DWB code repositories to archive their code.
First, we recommend to study the DWB terminology and programming philosophy in several steps:
- Have a look on the published DWB ER models.
- Have a look on the DWB SVN code repository and the [DiversityMobile GitHub repository.
DM GitHub repository].
- Install 3-4 of the DWB databases and rich clients on your desktop or MS server engine, e. g. DiversityAgents, DiversityProjects, DiversityCollection and DiversityDescriptions. You need, e. g., MS Windows 7 (with .Net already included), 2012 SQL Server Developer and Visual Studio Professional 2013. If you work at a university the licences costs you around 100 Euro.
- Contact the SNSB IT Center to get an account for a DWB training environment with test data.
- Participate in a DWB Workshop (currently only in German).
- Install Subversion (SVN) on your PC together with the GUI TortoiseSVN and download the DWB code, e. g., from the directories "DiversityWorkbench" and "DiversityAgents". You might use this code as template for the programming.
- Keep contact with the DWB editors, co-workers and software developers to learn more about the DWB philosophy, terminology, name space and conventions
