Eiffel CornerStandard Transactions Uses Eiffel to Empower Customers to Purchase Digital CashThis month we highlight Standard Transactions, a company located in the British Virgin Islands. It provides individuals, companies, and affinity groups the ability to make instant international payments. They currently serve customers in over 120 countries in the world, on every continent other than Antarctica. Standard Transactions customers can:
According to CTO, Loryn Jenkins: "Eiffel is eminently suited to distributed and group development, as the contracting formalism allows so much design and implementation information to be communicated so efficiently. Together with good cluster overview documentation (and clear, complete and consistent requirement documents), these facilities allows efficient interaction of multiple developers in building a system." "We really enjoy EiffelStudio's integrated class diagramming; kick-butt class, cluster and system-browsing facilities; HTML documentation; flexible system debugging; and its integrated metrics facilities. Using each of these facilities, it enables pin-point accuracy in judging completeness and correctness of systems."

TOOLS USA: Last Call For Papers!The final day to submit papers for the TOOLS USA is fast approaching. Got an idea? It needs to be received by April 15. Please email your submission to: info@tools-conferences.com .NET NewsIn its continued efforts to expand its .NET training, .NET Experts announces two new courses: Web Platform of the Future: the Clash of Titans The battle-lines are drawn for the critical fight to control the Web development platform of the future. On one side, the Java camp is furbishing its well-established tools. On the other, Microsoft .NET provides a comprehensive array of new solutions. This session explores the competitors involved, describes the strategic components of their technologies, accesses their strengths, and analyzes the Clash of Titans whose outcome will determine the IT industry for the decades to come. Multi-language programming with .NET Perhaps the most innovative aspect of Microsoft's .NET framework, whose basic specification is now an international standard, is its support for accommodating software systems and libraries taking advantage of many different programming languages. The level of interoperability between supported languages, both from Microsoft and from third parties, is unprecedented in the industry. The Microsoft .NET environment provides a new model of component-based development, taking advantage of object technology concepts and making it possible to turn ordinary program elements into full software components at essentially no extra effort. The approach relies on novel concepts such as metadata and custom attributes. It also innovates in the degree to which it frees the component model from dependencies on implementation languages, providing a level of language interoperability unheard of in previous approaches.
