MDA rocks: modeling the user interface with OlivaNova

In this tutorial I'll show you how easy a fully functional user interface can be modeled with OlivaNova on top of the business logic that has already been defined within the model. The running application can be seen on http://www.c5solutions.de/TravelmanagementDemo . Enjoy!

ASP.NET MVC preview release 4 - part 1

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:01:09 GMT

The ASP.NET MVC team is in the final stages of finishing up a new "Preview 4" release that they hope to ship later this week. The Preview 3 release focused on finishing up a lot of the underlying core APIs and extensibility points in ASP.NET MVC. Starting with Preview 4 this week you'll start to see more and more higher level features begin to appear that build on top of the core foundation and add nice productivity. There are a bunch of new features and capabilities in this new build - so much in fact that I decided I needed two posts to cover them all. This first post will cover the new Caching, Error Handling and Security features in Preview 4, as well as some testing improvements it brings. My next post will cover the new AJAX features being added with this release as well.

Have fun with MDA: modeling business logic

This is part three of my five-part tutorial that shows how to implement a web-based database application with a powerful MDA-Tool called OlivaNova Modeler. In this part, I'll explain how to implement nearly any business logic within the software model. When generating the code, the business logic is also transformed into C# code that matches the business logic defined in the model - and of course - you could also transform it into Java J2EE code that behaves identically.

Building a web-based database application within 8 hours, Part Two

This is part two of my five-part tutorial about implementing a web-based database application with the OlivaNova Modeler. In this part, we're going to discuss a rather simple task, the creation of classes, attributes, associations and inheritance. Modeling the class diagram is the foundation of modeling all other logics and user interface features, such as transactional business logic and AJAXified data views, filters and service forms.

This article shows you how to implement a rock-solid, multi-tier, scalable, AJAXified C# ASP.NET client/server-application with ease. The tutorial consists of five parts that show how the application has been modeled. Today, I'd like to start with a short introduction and the specification of the application.
