Borland Update

What the IDE Spin-off really means

Borland Announcements :

February 8th 2006 Borland acquires Segue Software Pursuing a “spin-out” independent developer

company – “DevCo”

March 20th 2006 Announcement of new “DevCo” General Manager

– Nigel Brown Borland EMEA VP

April 2006 Developer Tools Division Established

Divesting of IDE Product Lines – “DevCo”

Pursuing a “spin-out” independent developer company – “DevCo”

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

Model Driven Runtime Framework

ECO provides

Focus on the business logicHelps you raise the level of abstractionAchieves higher level separationImplements Rapid Model-Driven DevelopmentBuilds on 9 years of Model-Centric Application Framework successUses UML and OCL industry standards from OMGECO runs on scalable .NET platformProvides 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 DataSet 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 Details Code Defects Time

More Focus Quality Adaptability Predictability Productivty
