Borland Update

What the IDE Spin-off really means Borland Announcements : February 8 th 2006 § Borland acquires Segue Software § Pursuing a “spin-out” independent developer company – “Dev. Co” March 20 th 2006 § Announcement of new “Dev. Co” General Manager – Nigel Brown Borland EMEA VP April 2006 § Developer Tools Division Established

Divesting of IDE Product Lines – “Dev. Co” Pursuing a “spin-out” independent developer company – “Dev. Co” The expert IDE teams are involved in this process Focus on code and the developer role What is right for customers is to have two separate yet co-operative businesses Interim time, Borland continues to invest and advance the IDE business Announced new world wide Developer Tools Division General Manager Now on to work with potential investors

Using Together with Delphi

Together for Delphi and C# Live. Source Class diagramming two-way modeling – changes in code reflected in the model and viceversa UML Diagram suite Class, Use Case, Sequence, Collaboration, State Chars, Deployment, Activity, and Component Diagrams Design Patterns Get started quickly with industry recognized GOF (Gang of Four) design patterns or add your own. Refactorings Audits and Metrics Gain insight into your source code Document Generation Automatically generate professional quality documentation from your source code and models

Together – Diagramming Types Class Diagram Collaboration Diagram Use Case Diagram Activity Diagram Component Diagram Deployment Diagram Statechart Diagram Sequence Diagram

UML™ Modeling with Live. Source™ Together® Live. Source™ technology: § UML™ Class diagrams are a live rendition of the underlying source code § Model to Code to Model. Always in sync. Incremental Code Generator Live. Source™ Together® Parsing Engine

Together – Design Patterns Powerful Reuse Capabilities Defined in Pattern Registry Managed via Pattern Organizer Supports C#, Delphi, Design Projects Create/Edit Patterns XML File Defines Model and Link Information

Documentation Generation UML Documentation Wizard HTML Generation Documentation The HTML documentation contains three frames: § Diagram frame § Project and Overview frame § Documentation frame

Together – Audit and Metrics Audits Source code conformity rules Violations displayed From Design Issues to Naming Conventions Descriptions & How to Fix Metrics Evaluate Object Complexity Quantify your code Highlight Redesign Needs Change Impact Analysis

Developer Challenges and Needs § Need a higher level separation Users Presentation Layers Business Layers Data Sources Services between architecture layers § Increasing complexity, need more focus on the business logic § Need to adopt to business and technology changes quickly

Design Driven Software Service Development Modeling Design Environment UML Model Driven Runtime Framework UI Designers UML Model Object Logic OCL Logic Object Interaction 1. 2. 3. Database Explorer Persistence Modeled by Architect Generated From Model Requires Additional Developer Code

ECO provides Focus on the business logic Helps you raise the level of abstraction Achieves higher level separation Implements Rapid Model-Driven Development Builds on 9 years of Model-Centric Application Framework success Uses UML and OCL industry standards from OMG ECO runs on scalable. NET platform Provides Model-Centric not Database-Centric Includes… § Object to Relational Database mapping § Object to User Interface data binding § Advanced Framework Services

What is ECO? ECO is an acronym for Enterprise Core Objects ECO is an Application Framework ECO is built upon. NET and FCL from Microsoft ECO is components and classes to use in your Application at Runtime ECO is also design time tools available in Delphi IDE

Adopt a framework build on current and future technology Framework provides OR mapping § Databases crucial to business software § Code to populate objects with data from database and store changes is in the framework – you can focus on delivering business value instead of nuts and bolts Generated SQL § Easier to test § Less error prone § You can still write your own SQL where optimization requires Less code to maintain § Easier to change and extend your application § Lower maintenance cost

Object to User Interface data binding Fully compatible with. NET built-in data binding § All third party components can use your objects as data source if they are not hardwired to Data. Set class Components to simplify data binding to objects § Binding to ordinary (non ECO) objects requires code. § You must always wrap single objects in something that support at least the IList-interface Query language (OCL) to help retrieve the right data for UI Component Extenders § Auto forms, Drag and Drop to manipulate associations, common actions – All to get less code to maintain

Developer Value Quality § WYMIWIG – What you model is what you get ! § Allow focus at the business need - not implementation § Less code = less defects § Manageable Complexity Adaptability, Predictability § Designed for Change § Automatic evolution § Manageable side effects Productivity throughout the application lifecycle § Iterative design / develop process § Development 5 – 10* times faster § Maintenance and continuous change; even higher

Developer Advantage Less More § Details § Code § Defects § Time § Focus § Quality § Adaptability § Predictability § Productivty

Bold Steps to ECO I BOLD • Create Db schema • Evolve Db Schema • Object persistence • . NET Databinding • UML Designer • OCL Editor • Autoforms ECO II • ASP. NET support (Incl. Autoforms) • Web. Services • Reverse engineer existing Db • ECO Space Synchronization ECO III • State Machine • Multiple Db support • ECO Action Language • Etc.

ECO Features in BDS Editions ECO III (Enterprise Core Objects) Architect State Diagramming/Execution, Multi Database, Multi-ECO Servers External Web apps (extranet) Enterprise Win. Forms, Web. Services, and Web. Forms, Database persistence (1 Database, 1 ECO Server) Internal Web and Rich Client multiuser apps (intranet) Professional Class Modeling, Win.
