Reality Check: How will you solve the software development challenges impacting your business?

How can you quickly deliver code that works, scales easily, and integrates faster?

Deliver successful scalable solutions that exceed expectations

How do you automate coding and testing tasks so you can focus on the creative solution-building aspect of development?

Developer

How do you collaborate with geographically diverse teams and ensure best practices are followed?

How do you make use of emerging technologies to deliver cutting-edge applications when you don’t have time to learn?

How can you reduce risk, and deliver solutions on time, exceeding business expectations under budget?

How do you remove roadblocks to organizing geographically diverse teams and enable better tracking of the project?

Open Source offers both potential benefits and challenges Consider both before making a decision to implement!

Perception: Open Source Benefits

Low cost Quick and easy access to

software Implementation choice and

flexibility Community innovation

vs

Reality: Challenges of Open Source

Incomplete information, and education

Integration and compatibility issues Bleeding edge frameworks require

high skill level, no visual design tools

Questionable enterprise functionality, scalability, and maturity

Poor support of the entire development lifecycle

Revolving door of too many choices

Limited Support.

Refactoring helps make migration and code changes easier! Refactoring allows you to:

Improve your code without changing its behavior

Preview all impending changes before applying them

Refactoring actions are available by right-clicking Java objects or by using the Refactoring menu.

UML diagrams are updated automatically as part of refactoring.

Extend RAD, just as you would Eclipse

Third party plug-ins can be installed into RAD via the Eclipse Update manager if the meet the following criteria:

• Third party plug-ins must have version tolerances that are compatible with the version of Eclipse that RAD is based on:

•ie. RAD 7.5 or higher is based on Eclipse 3.4.1 – third party plug-in must be compatible with Eclipse 3.4.1 or


28

Why go it alone? RAD has learning resources Detailed and comprehensive

documentation Scenario based documentation to provide a

seamless flow from topic to topic Install it on your machine, on an intranet server

or browse online

Tutorials Watch as the tutorial is performed. Do the steps of the tutorial.

Samples Learn how to do application tasks in RAD. Get a better understanding of the underlying

technology.
