Eiffel Software Announces the Launch of Eiffelroom

Eiffel Community now has a resource portal

Santa Barbara, California -- March 19, 2007 -- Eiffel Software announced today the launch of Eiffelroom, its new community portal. Eiffelroom is a resource for tutorials, examples, and packages addressing the needs of the Eiffel community. The users of EiffelStudio, the IDE based on the Eiffel language, will find in Eiffelroom the answers they need to the practical questions a beginner can have as well as the tips experienced users will share. To access the Eiffelroom site, please visit: http://www.eiffelroom.com.

"Eiffelroom is also a platform to show our excitement about Eiffel where we can explain all the cool things you can do with Eiffel and how simple it can be, if you only know where to start" says Martin Seiler, a software developer at Eiffel Software.

"The launch of Eiffelroom is the expression of our commitment to making as easy as possible for newcomers to EiffelStudio to quickly and efficiently take advantage of its power” said Larry Miller, Director of Business Development for Eiffel Software. "We are extremely excited to be adding a higher level of communication between the users and implementers of our technology”.

Designed for enterprise and mission critical applications, EiffelStudio is an IDE based on the Eiffel language that supports multiple inheritance, genericity and Design by Contract™. Multiple inheritance increases reusability by allowing classes to inherit from many parents; genericity eliminates code duplication by making classes reusable; Design by Contract increases software reliability by establishing mutual obligations and benefits (contracts) between classes. These techniques extend throughout the full software lifecycle and provide a reversible stream through project development, which avoids the need for separate analysis, design, implementation and testing tools.
