My ideas and concerns are outlined in the blog, I;d really appreciate any feedback you guys have to offer as I respect your opinions.

"The trick is to start at a level where the user knows absolutely nothing ..." .... you'd be looking for me then. :) I've "fidgeted" with ECO but only because owning BDS gave me the opportunity and I really, really want to use it. Having said that the only real fidgeting I've done was to step by step through "Using VCL.NET with ECO" an article by David Clegg [ http://dn.codegear.com/article/33276 ]. The most significant point I want to make is your target audience. Most of the people that will be reading the article will be Enterprise or Architect owners - how easy do you need to be on users at that level <grin>? I wouldn't say that you're not looking at many people people in the Pro group ... unless, persistence isn't a significant feature in their project -or- like me, they just want to learn about ECO. Sure, you can fidget with it as I have [BDS 2006 Pro owner] but persistence to XML ... not a big seller for me. Another issue that you may like to include for the DotNotters ... using ECO with the VCL. I'm extremely interested in reading your article(s) and would be pleased to provide any feedback you need. I'm getting pretty good with "I haven't the foggiest idea what that means, could you break it down a bit?" With the exception of the bits referencing ASP there's nothing on that list I don't want to learn. None it looks frightening at all. I'll even learn the ASP stuff ... you lay it out simply enough. Good luck on it, -- Dave Back to top Leif Eirik Olsen Guest Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2007 5:35 pm    Post subject: Re: ECO jump start document - feedback required "Peter Morris" <support (AT) NOdroopySPAMeyes (DOT) com> skrev i melding news:45d63ff2 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Hi, So far I have little or no experiance with ECO, except that I would very much like not take advantage of it when my Arch. version arrives in a couple of days. So at this point I do not think I'm even in a position to give you any feedback:) But I would like to say I appriciate your efforts and very much looking forward to reading about ECO. Would be very nice if you at some point covered ECO multi-user support, change propagation and reconciliation :) regards, Leo Back to top Peter Morris Guest Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2007 6:28 pm    Post subject: Re: ECO jump start document - feedback required Quote: much like not take advantage of it when my Arch. version arrives in a couple "like not" or "like to"? Quote: Would be very nice if you at some point covered ECO multi-user support, change propagation and reconciliation I have those on the list, but I'm not sure if they belong in a JumpStart document or not. I may create two JumpStart documents, one with very basic information and the second with slightly more advanced information. I think though that a separate document is required to explain all of this in great detail as apposed to the JumpStart "What is it + how do I use it quickly" approach. -- Pete Blessed are the geek, for they shall public class GeekEarth : Earth {} ==== Audio compression components, DIB graphics controls, ECO extensions, FastStrings : http://www.droopyeyes.com My blog : http://mrpmorris.blogspot.com Back to top Leif Eirik Olsen Guest Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2007 7:48 pm    Post subject: Re: ECO jump start document - feedback required "Peter Morris" <support (AT) NOdroopySPAMeyes (DOT) com> skrev i melding news:45d997c9$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Upps, sorry:) Should of course be 'like to '. :) Quote: Would be very nice if you at some point covered ECO multi-user support, change propagation and reconciliation :) I have those on the list, but I'm not sure if they belong in a JumpStart document or not. Agreed, it may not belong in a JumpStart document. I hope you find time/place to cover those topics. Anyway I'm looking forward to the result. regards, Leo Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi OO design All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
