Long-term projects:

Spontaneous Generator (for Uniface 7 and 8)

The Spontaneous Generator is able to create a complete application by itself. It studies the data model, decides what components are needed and then generates them. It is easy but it not magical, it only is Computer Science.

The Spontaneous Generator is based on a method that I call 0minutes because that is the needed time to get operative the generated application. At the moment, you only have to build the startup-shell and the menu because all the components are made by the Generator.

I hope you will be able to use it very soon because that will mean that I have sold it. €:-D

You can now enjoy its little brother 0minutes.

 

Uniface to Java migration

This is only a group of ideas that I'll have to process. Translating Uniface sentences to Java code, it would be possible to scan a Uniface application and concatenate those translations to form a complete Java application.

Of course, several parts have to exist in order to implement database communications, translate the FORMPIC, ...

The big idea is to build this as a plug-in of the Spontaneous Generator. This implies that you can build complete applications on Uniface or Java beginning from a data model. At a precise moment, the generator will ask you what code you prefer.
