Retro look back part II

CA Plex (Obsydian) on floppy disk

Thanks to John Rhodes for the image of an old Obsydian diskette from the 1.0.3 release.  We are now at 6.1 and we have WCF, EJB, Java and .NET generation all being added since.  I really does show that MDD (Model Driven Development) can stand the test of time....

Personally, I see a marked 'upswell' in the desirability of code generation tools or at the least the concept of not writing all the CRUD stuff over and over again.

Time will tell.

p.s. Apologies for not keeping the blog up to date.  I have been working fulltime on a green field Plex project here in NZ.  I will try and summarise my findings in a future post.

CA Plex (Obsydian) Manual and a CD

I was trawling through my companies archives. 

You know what I mean.  I was actually rummaging through that pile of old CD-ROMs that had sat in the corner of the office for the last few years and I spotted this little gem.  I couldn't resist scanning it in and putting it up on the web for eternity.

If anyone else has some classic images they want loaded up I'd be happy to receive a scanned image.  This is for Obsydian version 2.5.  i.e. Pre patterns and many other cool enhancements that have been added over the years.  Anyone out there got a CD of KT!
