Patent ID: 8327351

Claim:
A method in a distributed computing system, using a computing system including one or more machines, the method comprising: initiating a server application on a central server in a distributed computing environment, wherein server application code includes instructions for implementing the server application at the central server; applying a first timestamp to the server application on initiating the server application; generating client application code from the server application; transmitting the client application code to a client computing device in the distributed computing system, wherein the client application code includes instructions for implementing the client application code at the client computing device; implementing the client application code at the client computing device; modifying the client application code at the client computing device; applying a second timestamp to the client application code on modifying the client application code; transmitting the modified client application code from the client computing device to the central server; translating the modified client application code to generate modified server application code based on the second timestamp being later than the first timestamp; storing at least one file associated with the modified client application code to operate with the server application at the central server; storing an identifier for the at least one file to enable tracking of modifications to the server application; and hot deploying the modified server application code at the central server.
