New Yahoo Group for eDeveloper Discovery users

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

At Magic Software we are constantly looking for new ways to reach out to our customers, users and supporters. This was the back-end thinking behind the release of Discovery Edition with V10 of eDeveloper.

Now that we have had thousands of downloads of the software we are now reaching out to help and assist our new users in learning and getting the most out of the software.

Today we created the eDeveloper-Discovery Group at Yahoo which will be moderated and manned by a combination of Magic staff and Magic users. This will give our new users the best possible community to ask questions and share experiences of eDeveloper.

Visit the group today and sign up to join this growing community of developers.

What exactly is a Composite Application Development Tool?

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

A composite application, which is built by combining multiple services, consists of functionality drawn from several different sources within Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).

The components may be individual Web Services, selected functions from within other applications, or entire systems whose output has been packaged as Web Services (often legacy systems).

eDeveloper & DST changes in 2007 - Part 2

eDeveloper & DST changes in 2007 - Part 1

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007


For those of us who use eDeveloper, DST usually stands for Development Saving Time – After all eDeveloper is all about saving development and deployment time and efforts.


For all other developers out there, DST simply stands for Daylight Saving Time.

The big news around Daylight Saving Time is that the DST in the U.S. was extended by about four weeks, following the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005.
As of this year, 2007, the DST will start on March 11, 2007, (three weeks earlier) and end on November 4, 2007.

This modification would naturally impact various applications utilizing timestamp-based mechanisms.

Fortunately, in eDeveloper, all system Date & Time related manipulations are made transparent to the developer by fully relying on the operating system date & time settings.

This means that unless the application was designed in a way that manipulates date & time values with explicit DST calculations, and given that the operating system on which the eDeveloper application is running is tuned to the new DST, the application will not be affected in any way by the upcoming DST period extension.
