Ardor ARDR: Development oriented platform

Great project created by the company Jelurida of Swiss origin dedicated to the development and maintenance of software at the service of Blockchain's technology whose objective is to give support for developers to create new products or services.
﻿
It has its own main block chain and a series of secondary block chains, it works under a tree scheme, the main node is the parent block chain and going down we find chains of child blocks following a parent child hierarchy, the interesting part is that the parent chain contains what is necessary to have the maximum security and in the child chains would be the functionality and development tools so that any group of developers can create products and services on customized block chains, additionally the projects created under this scheme will be able to have more than one associated touch. 
﻿
Note that when working with multiple blocks many problems of scalability, security and speed are solved. 
﻿
As a computer professional I consider that research projects like this one are the ones that definitely promote Blockchain's technology. This project must be followed up.

Ardor ARDR: Update review

A little more than nine months ago, specifically on November 5 last year, I had the opportunity to write my first review on this important project and warned that it was necessary to follow it up as it was a project that contributed a lot to the blockchain as it solved many problems of scalability, security speed, allowing interoperability between blockchains, something that ultimately is a step forward to the desired standardization for a better environment in which coins and data can be exchanged without any problem between different blockchains. 
Due to the way the project is conceived, separating data from transactions, security from operability, it has been possible to consolidate a secure environment for companies and anyone who wishes to create their own blockchain and token for customized projects, using the tools and advice of the ardor project. It opens a range of possibilities that previously were few use cases but that has had a significant advance, there was a greater effort in its dissemination using social networks and something that in my opinion always was and plays a very important role is that its code is completely open and decentralized development using JAVA as programming language, generally a large majority of projects of similar cut have opted to develop their own programming languages and frameworks, This is precisely a great disadvantage that slows down and makes the developments more expensive since it is difficult to find professionals specialized in such languages and development tools, which translates into longer development times with more extensive tests and trials, which leads to non-compliance in the work paths and in most cases to the inactivity of the project. 
Java developers are very numerous and it is possible to get them anywhere in the world, because it is the most used and extended development language in the world, in my personal opinion I complement the development with the Python language to give it more versatility and also because it is a powerful and worldwide known language. That is why its development has been fast and the implementations without much testing process, have fulfilled their work routine.
The Ardor application for Windows is very easy to download from its web portal that in my opinion should be updated and give it a nicer touch and with more direct and complete information about the project, the projects as they evolve should also make their web and social networks, in short is its image, following the comment once downloaded the client application ardor the installation is very simple, to install it you must disable the Windows defender as this blocks the installation and sees it as a threat.
For it you must go to configuration, security Windows and protection against virus and threats, then to administer configuration and there to deactivate protection in real time, do not fear since if you have some other antivirus your machine will remain protected apart that this deactivation is temporary, it will only give you a warning but it will allow the installation, the installation is fast and it will ask you the language to select, then the typical thing of each installation, to select following, to accept the license, to everything else following, the process will take maximum a couple of minutes and when finalizing it selects done. Ready, you will have installed Ardor Server in client mode. You must have your account created and a good internet connection to link to the database. 
From the evolution and news about the project, I definitely keep my opinion about this great project, I was right when I said that this is a project with a good future and should be taken into account in the long term. 

Pro
It has maintained its evolution in these nine months
A lot of current news says a lot about the project
The choice of java as a development tool is key to its success.
Good compliance with the work path.
 Against
Not only should the project evolve, its website, which is part of it, should also grow and be updated.
