Visible Product Accelerates Development of Microsoft .NET Applications by Producing 90+% of the Code.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2002 Developer 3.0, a new release from Visible Systems, helps developers build XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. Web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. applications at half the cost and effort of traditional development methods. Visible Systems Corporation (www.visible.com), a member of the Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers. It centers on an integrated development environment which lets programmers create standalone applications, web sites, web applications, and web services that run on any platforms .NET Integration Program (VSIP VSIP Visual Studio Industry Partner (Microsoft) VSIP Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park VSIP Visual Studio Integration Program (Microsoft) VSIP Voluntary Separation Incentive Program ), unveiled the first of its tools designed to help companies more efficiently build enterprise XML Web service applications using Microsoft Visual Studio.NET technology. Showcased at the New England New England, name applied to the region comprising six states of the NE United States—Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The region is thought to have been so named by Capt. Microsoft ISV (Independent Software Vendor) A person or company that develops software. It implies an organization that specializes in software only and is not part of a computer systems or hardware manufacturer. Conference in greater Boston Greater Boston is the area of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts surrounding the city of Boston, Massachusetts. While Metro Boston tends to be the "Inner Core" surrounding the City of Boston, Greater Boston overlaps the North and South Shores, as well as the MetroWest region. , Visible Developer 3.0 works within Visual Studio.NET to automatically generate 90+% of the business logic and database access code directly from the application model. With Visible Developer, companies building new applications or moving existing applications to Microsoft .NET technology can save 50% of the cost of traditional development methods. "Visible Developer really complements and extends the power of Microsoft Visual Studio.NET by automatically generating business logic for the developer," said Frank Gocinski, business development manager for Visual Studio.NET at Microsoft Corp. "This is an often requested feature, and we are glad to see our partners at Visible deliver such a robust solution." "Visible just made it easier for companies to move to XML Web services," said John Vosburgh, Visible general manager of Modeling Tools. "We've added Microsoft Visual Studio.NET code generation to our proven Visible Developer product, which already generates production code for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and ASP. Visible Developer goes well beyond the shell code produced by competitive products by generating a production application." Visible's John Vosburgh added that an earlier version of Visible Developer was used to implement one of the biggest legacy conversions to Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, generating over 1 million lines of code The statements and instructions that a programmer writes when creating a program. One line of this "source code" may generate one machine instruction or several depending on the programming language. A line of code in assembly language is typically turned into one machine instruction. . About Visible Developer Visible Developer 3.0 is a software component design and development tool that generates fully functional three-tier applications incorporating the latest technologies: XML Web services, ADO.NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.NET, and XML. It maps the physical database design to a single logical business object. Developers use design-time objects to express business requirements in Visible Developer's model. Code patterns translate requirements into the Microsoft Visual Basic.NET classes, modules, forms, and stored procedures comprising the applications. Because it is model-based, Developer is particularly valuable to companies that use model-driven architecture. By combining a single model of the business application with the Visual Studio.NET code pattern, Developer lets companies modernize applications without the cost and risk of a rewrite. The IT group gets greater leverage from its existing staff, and developers maintain focus on adding business value. Visible Developer's model-based development results in reusable, technology-neutral business components. The current product includes code generation for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Studio.NET. A synchronization feature keeps the business component design consistent with the underlying database. Visible Developer 3.0 is priced at $1,995. A special Early Adopter Offer enables people to purchase Developer during a limited time for $595, 70% off the normal cost.
