Eiffel Corner


Eiffel for .NET now available

It's out! One of the very first commercial language implementations for .NET, Eiffel for .NET was released by ISE just before TOOLS USA. This is the first officially released result of a cooperation with Microsoft that has been proceeding since the summer of 1999, with the goal of integrating Eiffel into the Microsoft .NET framework.

Eiffel users will find in Eiffel for .NET the most attractive features of Eiffel, including (alone in commercial .NET languages) genericity and Design by Contract. Eiffel for .NET is fully interoperable with other .NET languages, providing Eiffel users with easy access to the wealth of libraries available on the .NET platform. Eiffel and .NET are the ideal combination for companies wishing to take advantage of best-of-breed technologies in operating systems, Internet and Web infrastructure, software development methods, and development environments.

O-O database: Eiffel-MATISSE Binding

Developers in search of a great object-oriented database solution that works with Eiffel will be happy to learn about the upcoming release of a new Eiffel to MATISSE binding for EiffelStudio 5.0. MATISSE 5.0 is, according to its designers, the first database to integrate object technology and standard SQL. It is designed for object developers and database programmers who want to boost application performance and reduce development time. Based on technology used to run mission-critical applications for more than a decade, MATISSE 5.0 is architected for performance, scalability, and flexibility, and fits nicely with the Eiffel solutions for high-quality O-O development.

Eiffel Summit 2001

Once again the Eiffel Summit was successfully held at the Fess Parker Doubletree Hotel on Tuesday July 31. The theme of this year's summit, "EIFFEL IN THE ENTERPRISE: The Power of Application and Integration," featured presentations which demonstrated Eiffel as a tool for establishing a competitive advantage.

Share Your Eiffel Development Success With Others

Have you got an Eiffel project that you are particularly proud of? Would you like to give a fellow Eiffeler a hand? ISE is looking to build a community of "Eiffel Experts" who are willing to help fellow Eiffelers interested in sharing details of their Eiffel projects. On our site we will list you as an "Eiffel Expert". If you are interested please send an email to: billn@eiffel.com
