Hi,
We are launching version 4.0 in couple of weeks. I wanted to know if you
had finished evaluating TierDeveloper. If you
haven't, please let me know if there is anything we can do to help.The
reason for my asking is that we're offering some special limited time
discounts that I'd like you to take advantage of. Just let me know how many
licenses you are interested in. We are also offering very attractive
volume discounts.
You're going to save a lot of time and money with TierDeveloper. Did you
know that TierDeveloper pays back many times its price in just your first
project.
1. Object to relational mapping
TierDeveloper started out as a pure object-to-relational mapping tool for
those customers who wanted to develop a complex real-life ASP.NET or
Windows Forms application. With TierDeveloper, they could generate almost
50% of their application code (namely business and data objects).
In this area, TierDeveloper is the most featureful tool. Here are some of
the features you should look into:
a. Single-table and multi-table object mapping
b. one-to-one, one-to-man, and many-to-one relationships
c. Complex SQL queries with joins, unions, and nested queries
d. Stored procedure calls
e. Custom operations for performance gains
f. Parent/child relationships and life-cycle mgmt
g. Generate all SQL in application as stored procedures
h. Custom Hooks (safe code you write to change behavior of generated code)
i. Web Services (expose business/data objects as web services)
j. Strong typed .NET components for COM+ or stand-alone
k. SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2 support (native support for SQL Server and
Oracle)
l. 100% VS.NET integration
2. ASP.NET generation
Originally, we provided the feature of generating an ASP.NET primarily to
allow customers to quickly test the generated .NET components. However,
many of our customers have started using this as a powerful web application
to administer their databases. You can generate ASP.NET, build and deploy
it all from within Tierdeveloper.
In version 4.0 (scheduled to be release by end of June 2004 which you'll
get a free upgrade to), we have completely revamped the ASP.NET generation
which I'll explain below.
3. Version 4.0 coming up (FREE upgrade if you buy now)
Some of the main features we're going to provide in version 4.0 are:
a. Improved object-to-relational mapping
- many-to-many relationships
- NULL value handling
- required field handling
- Improved design pattern for objects
- much more...
b. Customizable ASP.NET app generation
- customize layout of forms
- use combo-box fields for lookup values
- change field sizes, location, labels, etc.
- Keep all layout info in XML file which you can also edit manually
c. Customizaable Windows Forms app generation
- Same as ASP.NET
I hope this will help you get a better picture about TierDeveloper. Let me
know if I can provide any more information to help you complete your
evaluation. We would love to see you become a customer of ours.
Cheers,
Sean Shaw
