From: John Parker on 9 Nov 2006 16:22 Dateline - 21:30 Cologne Germany As we reach the end of the second day of the German VODC conference, I would like to share with you all an update on the news. This has been another great conference and the organising team have done a wonderful job. There has always been plenty to see in each of the time slots and the hardest decision was choosing between the sessions. As a conference organiser myself, I know just how hard the team have had to work to make this conference as good as it is. In the opening session the Development Team presented the current status of both Visual Objects and Vulcan.NET. Robert van der Hulst showed the current build of VO2.8, which focuses on making the IDE a more productive environment. As well as the many bug fixes, this new version features an "all new" source code editor, debugger and error browser. VOPS subscribers will soon be working with the new version and general availability is anticipated to be the first quarter of 2007. Next up was Paul Piko who demonstrated the Vulcan.Net Transporter. This utility is designed to achieve two goals. The first is to provide a series of code improvements that are applied directly to the source code in a selected VO repository. These improvements arise from the continued tightening of the language, which assists the compiler in producing a more robust output. The second goal is to extract the entities from the VO project and automatically create a Vulcan.NET Visual Studio solution. The Transporter also takes the proprietary VO window entity and produces source code that uses the .NET framework classes so that it can be edited using the Visual Studio form designer. Last of all, Don Caton presented the current status of Vulcan.NET. The most recent milestones include the support for codeblocks and the macro compiler. Vulcan's implementation of macro support has gone beyond the limitations that are in Visual Objects. In the new compiler, any public function, class or class member can be invoked, as well as any .NET framework call, any Vulcan runtime function, or any method in another class library. General availability of Vulcan.NET is expected during the second quarter of 2007. All attendees were handed a bound printed copy of "Vulcan.NET At Warp Speed", the 173 page getting started guide. A PDF version of this book will be available to everyone for download. The URL will be announced here in the near future. Over these two days I have talked with several attendees who have been very excited about the Vulcan.NET applications that they have already created. These ranged from a mobile device application accessing SQLMobile right up to a new 30,000 line desktop application. Finally, on behalf of the Development Team and all of the attendees, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the conference organisers, Sonja Schletterer, Rudiger Kardel and team leader, Dieter Crispien who have done such a great job. Well, that's all for now, John
From: Rene J. Pajaron on 9 Nov 2006 19:09 Thanks John, I understand the delay. I thought VO 2.8 and Vulcan 1.0 is set to be released at VODC. I hope Vulcan at warp speed pdf is available this weekend, so that it will give me a good read on somewhat boring timeline of my life--no exciting new things to do but crappy process clients wants next month or two. I might delay this as well because its Christmas vacation. A good read, but somewhat I need more!!!! Bye for now, got to work...
