Matrix – A New Abstract Modeling Language
Today, Mike Finn presents a new abstract modeling language called Matrix based on the Shlaer-Mellor Method. Matrix is a textual modeling language that’s designed to be translated to many existing programming languages such as C, C++, Java and Ada. The Matrix language provides an extremely high level of abstraction compared to currently available executable modeling
Why did I fail with the online code-generation services – Advise(II): Don’t sell to developers
(cross-posted from the “Stories of a (failed) entrepreneur” blog) This is the second in a series of posts trying to explain what I think went wrong with my attempt of selling online code-generation services, that I end up giving up for free due to the lack of clients. In the previous post, I recommended to

From UML models to AJAX Java EE code in OpenXava with MOSKitt
Following my own “Pareto principle (or 80/20 rule) for MDD” I´ve always defended the idea that MDD tools should not (and don’t need to) ask developers to draw too many models. In fact, to generate most of the software, a simple class diagram is enough (this is the main principle behind the free code-generation services
