Using GMF, one is able to design a set of diagram elements that relate to a domain model and generate a diagramming surface capable of visually working with that model. This presentation explores the GMF project and illustrate its effectiveness in rapidly providing a visual aspect to nearly any domain.
Prerequisites: Knowledge of modeling, Eclipse, and the UML helpful.

2150 CASE STUDY: Sending C++Builder Apps into Orbit - WorldMap 5.0
Keith Chuvala — United Space Alliance
Type: Case Study. Level: Beginning.
This case study follows the development and deployment of WorldMap 5.0, a situational awareness application built using C++Builder that is used by crews on the Space Station and on Space Shuttle missions. A complete redesign and rewrite of a complex application with over 230 requirements, this project was completed in under 15 months with a small team employing agile techniques within an environment typically known for its rigidly engineered and controlled processes. In this case study, we discuss the benefits of C++Builder RAD capabilities, its use to create system services, and the challenges of successfully incorporating third party libraries. The "evolution" of Borland C++ compiler use on the SpOC team over the years is front-and-center in this case study.

Nick Hodges — Lemanix Corporation
Type: Preconference Tutorial. Level: Intermediate.
One of the greatest strengths of ASP.NET is the capability to create powerful components for use in your Web sites. Delphi developers have long known of the power and convenience of using components in their Windows applications. Now with ASP.NET, you can bring those component-building skills to the world of Web application development. The Framework Class Library (FCL) provides a feature-rich framework for developing custom components that will do almost anything that the limits of HTML and JavaScript will allow you to do. Web developers no longer have to envy Windows developers for having a powerful and rich set of controls to build professional looking applications. This tutorial covers the life-cycle of a server control; simple Web control development; WebControl vs. Control; persistenting values and control state; custom rendering; custom styles; managing post-back in your controls; using client-side scripting; composite controls; using complex properties in server controls; databound controls; and, templated controls. In addition, new issues for control development in ASP.NET 2.0 are covered.
