www.rapiagiledevelopment.com has been produced by Cove Bay Software Limited (established 2003) for Software Engineering in Microsoft C#, VB.NET and ASP.NET using Microsoft SQL Server Databases. Speed up your Software Development and Save Time and Money The experience gained in Software Engineering has been used to create a set of products for Microsoft .NET (C# & VB.NET) Framework and SQL Server Development to improve the Productivity of Agile / Prototyping Software Development Methods. This is achieved by effectively managing Hybrid Code Bases. kissIT!® products are now available for evaluation and purchase from www.rapidagiledevelopment.com. Hybrid Code Base Real world software development is a Hybrid mix of Generated and Manually written Code and SQL. The kissIT!® product suite provides a flexible platform to Generate Code & SQL and Manage both Generated and Manually written Code and SQL. What does “kiss" sand for? “kiss is an acronym for "keep it simple, stupid" as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. There was no implicit meaning that an engineer was stupid; just the opposite. The KISS Principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. The acronym was reportedly coined by Kelly Johnson (1910 – 1990), lead engineer at the Lockheed Skunk Works (creators of the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird spy planes, among many others)." Extract Source: Wikipedia 2013. The kissIT!® Product Suite (kiss!® in particular) is aimed at intermediate and extreme programmers: - Improve Productivity through Code Generation, SQL Script Patch creation and maintenance. - Designed for Hybrid coding (Generated & Manual). - Uses customisable Templates in C#, VB.NET and SQL syntax. - Designed for Iterative Development Cycles (PrototypingAgileExtreme Programming). - Easy to use. Once set up, generate & re-generate via an intuitive Windows User Interface. - Stores configurations to reduce set-up time scales between Development Cycles. - Designed to use Source Control for team development. - Improves speed of SQL Script Testing and Issue Diagnosis. - Manages SQL script Patches. - Helps with Database Schema Documentation. - Integrates with existing Third Party applications (Beyond Compare™, Visual Studio™, SQL Server Management Studio™, SQL Scripter™) - Reverse Engineers common SQL Objects from existing databases into individual SQL Scripts. Real world example: An existing customer used MyGeneration™ and Apache ANT™ to generate & concatenate SQL C.R.U.D. (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) stored procedures and VB.NET code for their Data Access Layer (DAL) and Business Logic Layer (BLL). On average it was taking one week to fully regenerate these layers after a Data Model change. kiss!® was able to produce the same Hybrid Code and SQL output in 10 minutes saving 37.5 hrs p/w.
