ISE Eiffel: The One-Minute Summary

For the truly hurried here is a capsule overview of ISE Eiffel:

    A comprehensive approach to the construction of successful software.
     

    The goal: improve the productivity of your software process; enable you to bring your products out before everyone else; enable you to satisfy your customers and gain new business.
     

    The only approach that covers analysis, design and implementation in a single framework.
     

    Includes a language, a methodology, and a complete graphical development environment.
     

    Language: widely recognized as the best and simplest implementation of object-oriented concepts. Clean, simple, readable, powerful, easy to learn.
     

    Methodology: based on Design by Contract -- building reliable software by defining precise contracts between its various components, and making sure the software construction process enforces these contracts.
     

    Powerful graphical environment supporting fast compilation (Melting Ice Technology) and unique facilities for documentation, exploration ("browsing") and documentation.
     

    Sophisticated mechanisms for assertions, inheritance (single, multiple and repeated), exception handling, genericity.
     

    Compilation technique using C as the intermediate language and generating executables whose speed rivals with or exceeds C or Fortran.
     

    Rich set of libraries covering graphics, the Web, networking, fundamental algorithms and data structures, lexical analysis, parsing, etc.
     

    Proven track record of successful projects, including some of the largest successful O-O projects ever built anywhere: finance, telecommunications, CAD-CAM, CASE, education etc.
     

    The most effective solution available today for the professional software developer
