My work

TechEd Europe 2005, meet me at Ask the Experts!

I'll be at TechEd Europe 2005 next week in Amsterdam, from Tuesday to Friday, at the Ask The Experts (ATE) stand!

I'll be there on the following date/time:
Tuesday July 5th, 14:00 - 16:30
Wednesday, July 6th, 14:00 - 17:00
Friday, July 8th, 11:00 - 13:15

During the other timeslots, I'll wander around or will be in the MVP / speakers lounge.

If you're visiting TechEd Europe 2005, feel free to drop by and say hi and have a chat . I'll bring a laptop with a pre-beta of LLBLGen Pro's upcoming 1.0.2005.1's designer so you can see a bit of that in action as well if you want to. . Version 1.0.2005.1 of LLBLGen Pro will include inheritance with a visual designer, click here and here for a preview screenshot.

See you there!

In case you wondered: the diagramming is done using an altered version of the Netron library: http://netron.sourceforge.net

Frans, Your new LLBLGenPro pre-beta screenshots look impressive!

I am starting a big web project soon, and are very keen to purchase and use LLBLGenPro.

Just a question (from my somewhat limited understanding and knowledge) about the pre-beta screenshots: It looks like entity-relationship type diagrams. Would it not have been worthwhile to have the ability to design UML diagrams, rather than ER diagrams (similar to e.g. ObjectMapper from Mats Helander)?

Have fun at TechEd!

Regards

Willem

(Sorry for the late reply).

No not UML, as UML is very specific and not a lot of people know UML. And in fact, they are entity types in a super/subtype hierarchy, like you'd have in NIAM/ORM models.

I want to keep the model abstracted away from physical elements like a 'class'.

Thanks for the feedback! What you are saying makes good sense.
