QuickSilver Live Objects is a new programming model and a platform, in which instances of distributed protocols are modeled as components with an object-oriented look and feel that can be composed in a type-safe manner to build complex distributed applications using a simple, intuitive drag and drop interface.
Our platform is publicly available for free, currently for Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008. In order to obtain the code, you will need to create an account that you will use to logon to our secure server. To configure the authentication with the server correctly, you should install the server certificate in your machine's local certificate store.
To get a glimpse of our technology in action, you can watch this 8-minute streaming flash video. If you can't access this video or the playback isn't smooth, try these externally hosted versions: higher quality (700 kbps) or lower quality (100 kbps).
