Rapid Quality Systems sponsor Developer Day Scotland

5 May, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Scottish Developers are pleased to announce that we have signed up Rapid Quality Systems as a sponsor for DDD Scotland 2010:
Rapid Quality Systems

Code Rocket is an innovative new plugin for Visual Studio and Eclipse which reveals the inner workings of C#, Java, and C/C++ code. It makes documentation a seamlessly integrated part of the software development process, plugging directly into your development IDE with minimal overheads and delivering the following benefits:
Code Rocket

  • Design and visualization support for complex algorithms and business processes;
  • Visualizing test paths in complex methods;
  • Improved visibility of the detailed stages of software development, supporting review, QA, and project management.
  • Reviewing and agreeing functionality with non-programmers, e.g. during requirements gathering with customers;
  • Automated documentation generation at the touch of a button or as part of an automated build process;
  • Works out of the box with existing code, no additional markup required.

Code Rocket automatically generates and displays flowchart diagrams and pseudocode designs inside your IDE alongside your code. The designs are fully editable and fully synchronised with the code so that changes in either are automatically detected and reflected.

Code Rocket seamlessly integrates with existing tools and processes. Write your code the way you currently do and Code Rocket works its magic behind the scenes. Get your documentation and design support when you need it, and allow others to get it when they need it too: project managers, customers, and new team members who wish to explore your code and start contributing fast.

March Newsletter

4 March, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Welcome

Welcome to a somewhat delayed February newsletter. In fact it is so delayed I’m just going to call it the March newsletter.

So, what’s been going on to make this as late as it is? Well, we’ve been pretty busy organising DDD Scotland 2010 (AKA Developer Day Scotland) which will be on the 8th May in Glasgow. We’ve also got Jesse Liberty coming across from the US in April, we’ll be announcing more details of that once we finalise the arrangements. We’ve also got some events in Edinburgh and Tayside.

The biggest piece of late-breaking news is that Scott Guthrie is making a visit to Glasgow. He’ll be talking about a number of new things, so new we don’t even know what they are yet. They are set to be announced at MIX in Las Vegas later this month, then the following week he’ll be in the UK. It will be an all day marathon, nay, Guathon!

As always, you can follow us on twitter @scottishdevs or if you want conference specific tweets follow @dddscot.

Regards,
Colin Mackay, Chairman.
