What the rule tells us is that in anything a few (20 percent) are vital and many(80 percent) are trivial, and thus, to improve your productivity, you should… Continue

I have finally released my software and set it to production/stable. So when one has to do with prototyping and database applications, please review. Now printing has been added as an important business task.

To use the UML modelling feature, please download BoUML at http://bouml.free.fr and don't forget to donate :-)

The UML tool is used for the model driven aspect as an input but also I can reverse engineer, thus output to UML and then start MDA /MDSD for existing database schemas to get sim… Continue
