Richard Develyn Ltd began as a carrier company for my consultancy work within the UK government. When I decided to embark on product development I kept the name of the company the same for two main reasons:
heading
The Company
# 2:
text
1. I wanted to reject the anonimity that a company name gives you. Given that Richard Develyn Ltd has only one employee (Richard Develyn) and one product (QuSheet) I thought that it was only fair and reasonable for me to be willing to put my own reputation on the line based on the quality of my product.
heading
The Company
# 3:
text
2. Company naming has become rather a curious business these days.
heading
The Company
# 4:
text
And just to elaborate on the second point, not only are we now expected to come up with a name that nobody else is using, we also need to think of one that hasn't had the appropriate URL "carpet-bagged" by some opportunist entrepeneur.
heading
The Company
# 5:
text
Everyone always wants a company name using some sort of animal, as this automatically gives you a picture to use in your company logo. Even if the creature is a disgusting little creepy-crawly which has absolutely nothing to do with your business (apart from occasionally infecting its employees) customers will still point at the thing on your business card and ask you what it is and what it does.
heading
The Company
# 6:
text
Unfortunately pretty much every simply-named creature in the animal kingdom has now been used (apart from "Swallow" - guess why) and in fact I'm beginning to think that just about every noun in the dictionary has a web-site somewhere. Phrases are still possible. I could have called the company "Lesser Spotted Dogfish Software" or even "Scyliorhinus Canicula Software" had I felt mad enough to do so. I'm sure that as time goes by names like these will become considerably more popular than the animals they refer to. Maybe the search for animal-based company names will halt the reduction in the world's bio-diversity. Or maybe we'll just start breeding new creatures in order to provide future companies with interesting names and pretty pictures for their logos. You never know.
heading
The Company
# 7:
text
For now, though, I'll just stick with Richard Develyn Ltd.
heading
The Company
# 8:

I've been writing software since I was 16 years old - way back in 1980. I actually had my own computer back then: a TRS80 Model I Level II - a "trish" as it was fondly known. Only three of us in the whole school had one, and it was quite a big school too.
heading
The Developer
# 9:
text
I graduated with a degree in Maths and Computer Science in 1986 and spent 19 of the next 23 years of my professional life programming. I consider myself an expert, though I could easily spend another 20 years programming and still not be its master. Software Engineering is a complicated and underrated discipline.
heading
The Developer
# 10:
text
I returned to programming after a 4 year break in IT consultancy in order to write QuSheet, a program which has everything in it which I believe makes good quality professional software.
heading
The Developer
# 11:
text
I hope to spend the rest of my life involved in programming in some fashion - either doing it myself, or leading teams that do it, or teaching it, lecturing on it, researching it or providing consultancy on it. If you're interested in discussions on programming please visit my <b><u>LINK(http://www.qusheet.com/richard,blog)</u></b>. Feedback is always wellcome.
heading
The Developer
# 12:
text
What began as a simple program that not only made calculations but also showed you the workings-out has now become a sophisticated summary/detail presentation application with an embedded calculation engine.
heading
The Product
# 13:
text
At this moment QuSheet does not appear to have a direct competitor. I do not believe that this is because I have identified a new need - I think the requirement to produce information in a manner which allows the viewer to drill down into the details when they want them has been around for some time. I think that the reason that an application like this hasn't been written before is that it is too difficult a proposition for either a large or small company to develop "speculatively". Try to build a QuSheet output file yourself either by hand or with another application and you'll see the difficulties you encounter.
heading
The Product
# 14:
text
QuSheet works using a Rules-Based back-engine which processes all of your headings and calculations into a large data-structure which is then parsed several times to gather up explanation groups and format all the output. Notice how column data lines up across the different headings in order to make the whole thing look attractive - the only way any tool can do that is to calculate everything first and then format the output as a whole. No other application that I am aware of does that.
heading
The Product
# 15:
text
QuSheet's front end has everything which I believe a program should have in order to make your life, as a user, easier. I have not gone down "The Microsoft Route" just for the sake of following the leader. I like things like context-sensitve help, multiple tabs, navigation short-cuts and a comprehensive do/undo system. I also like to colour code everything (I like colour in general).
heading
The Product
# 16:
text
In the end I believe, and I hope you will agree, that QuSheet does a difficult job for you, with definate benefits to you, and that it does so cleanly and elegantly. I must admit that I have struggled a little in getting the balance right between power and ease-of-use but I hope that in setting up examples and templates (quick win scenarios) I have managed to find a compromise between those two rather difficult and incompatible goals.
heading
The Product
# 17:
text
QuSheet is a versatile product with many potential uses most of which I'm doubtlessly missing since I am no marketting expert. I'm therefore particularly interested in hearing suggestions relating to where QuSheet could be used - i.e. what sector of the marketplace I should be thinking about targetting. If necessary, I will produce Examples and Quick Win scenarios in order to support any promising pointers.

QuSheet enables businesses and organisations to communicate to their clients using Dynamic Documents.
heading
QuSheet:
# 2:
text
Dynamic Documents, which may be sent as email attachments or placed on the WWW, and which can be viewed using any web browser, present their information in a Dynamic Summary/Detail Format.
heading
QuSheet:
# 3:
text
This Dynamic Summary/Detail Format gives the viewer control over the information that appears in front of them. By using a mouse a viewer can either drill down into the details that they are interested in or hide away any details that they do not wish to see.
heading
QuSheet:
# 4:
text
QuSheet scans and organises data into information groups and nested sub-groups. Visual formatting rules are applied to make sure the resulting document is attractive regardless of which parts are being viewed and which parts are being obscured. Data scanning rules allow the production of documents which present information by different headings and summaries - without having to replicate the source data.
heading
QuSheet:
# 5:
text
QuSheet's in-built calculation engine allows calculated information to be presented with the "workings out" automatically shown as details, and details within details.
heading
QuSheet:
# 6:
text
QuSheet's applications are myriad: from conference schedules and project plans, legal documents and newsletters, to quotations, orders, invoices, work-sheets, bills and even complex technical documents.
heading
QuSheet:
# 7:
text
Approximately one third (10,000 lines of code) of QuSheet is written in Prolog using the Amzi Prolog interpreter/compiler.
heading
Amzi / Prolog:
# 8:
text
Prolog allows the headings and calculations which QuSheet makes to be treated as first class entities. This is important because QuSheet is as interested in the source of the results as in the results themselves, since QuSheet is essentially outputting lists of pairs of results and explanations.
heading
Amzi / Prolog:
# 9:
text
When all calculations have been made, and headings expanded, QuSheet takes the resulting package of data and source-rules, and rules within rules and so on, stores it in a huge (Prolog) data-structure, and then parses it in order to make sure that (a) results line up across different rule expansions and (b) that everthing is formatted visually using another set of Prolog rules: the style set.
heading
Amzi / Prolog:
# 10:
text
Prolog rules are then used again to optimise the necessary CSS styles into a minimal set and to translate the final output into HTML.

At its heart QuSheet is all about communicating information as a list of paragraphs, with sub-paragraphs within those paragraphs, and sub-paragraphs within sub-paragraphs up to 20 levels deep.
heading
Overview
# 2:
text
QuSheet displays these paragraphs using three distinct output formats within the same HTML (i.e. browser style) document. Large-screen display (i.e. normal PC) presents sub-paragraphs as hidden clauses which a viewer can reveal or conceal with a mouse click, small-screen display (i.e. PDA/mobile phone) presents sub-paragraphs linked to and from their parent paragraphs with hyper-text links, and hard-copy display shows paragraphs and sub-paragraphs in a succession of summary/detail pages.
heading
Overview
# 3:
text
Since this type of information display is typical when communicating the results of calculations, QuSheet has an embedded calculation engine within it which displays its results and workings-out using paragraphs and sub-paragraphs as above.
heading
Overview
# 4:
text
At the top level a paragraph consists of two fields: a result and an explanation. Sub-paragraphs have three results fields instead of one. Although these fields have a default behaviour when QuSheet is making calculations they can be used to display anything you want, including dates, times, non-numeric data and so on, regardless of whether calculations are taking place or not. The important thing about results fields is that they line up with other results fields at the same level up and down the output file. This lining up happens not just at the field's starting points but also at various "hot-points" defined within them (such as the location of a post-fix unit like “meters”). This type of processing is necessary, particularly in the case of large-screen display, in order to make the final result pleasing to the eye.
heading
Overview
# 5:
text
QuSheet controls all aspects of output generation using Styles. Styles determine not just the visuals like background colour and bold/italic settings but also whether a field should appear on all different output types, prefix and/or postfix unit names, whether sub-paragraph expansion should be allowed or suppressed, how groups of sub-paragraphs should be sorted before display, numerous calculation based parameters such as decimal places and rounding, and so on. Styles can also be chained together in various ways to prevent repetition.
heading
Overview
# 6:
text
QuSheet’s input consists of headings and tables. Headings determine which paragraphs should appear within which others and what calculations should be made (if any). Tables define the data to use in calculations.
heading
Overview
# 7:
text
Headings and Tables combine using "Fields" and “Selectors” – a mechanism allowing the marrying up of headings and tables so that (a) headings can be repeated using different table entries, (b) tables can be used with different heading sets and (c) headings and tables can be combined to produce different output files.
heading
Overview
# 8:
text
A paragraph's explanation field can also be built using headings and tables. Doing so allows the explanation field to incorporate within it input data and calculated results as well as straight forward text. It also allows the explanation field to be built from phrases formatted according to different styles, allowing variation not just in the visuals but also, for example, in the type of display that a phrase should appear in.
heading
Overview
# 9:
text
QuSheet’s user interface, which runs on Microsoft Windows, allows Headings, Tables, Fields, Selectors and Styles to be entered via a simple system of tables and forms. This interface also boasts context-sensitive help, multiple undo/redo, rapid navigation between linked entities, copy and "intelligent" pasting from other windows applications, an XML data interface and user-preference settings such as colour-coding.
