Eiffel in the Press


EWEEK

In his February 11, 2002 // Volume 2, Issue 6 of ENTERPRISE IT ADVANTAGE e-letter, Peter Coffee starts his article "Do .Net Languages Meet XML's Needs?"

With this week's launch of Microsoft's Visual Studio .Net, we'll hear a lot about the unprecedented ease of mixing multiple high-level languages in a single application or development organization.

Languages such as Eiffel were at least a decade ahead of .Net in letting developers express reliability goals in their code, as well as in their specifications: Eiffel becomes a much more viable mainstream tool now that it can mix and match with other, better known languages in a highly integrated environment for building and debugging.

MSDN

ISE EiffelStudio 5.1 launch is announced on page 13 of the March 2002 issue of MSDN.
