Xtreme
Simplicity has a C# Refactory tool available. C#
Refactory is a Visual Studio .NET add-in for efficiently refactoring
c-sharp code. It includes a wide range of c-sharp refactorings and
metrics to increase your productivity.
Sharp Smalltalk and
SmaCC available now.
The
#Smalltalk
compiler implements Smalltalk to run natively on the .NET framework. It
was written by
John Brant
and
Don Roberts
and is available under the
Open
Software License version 1.1.
SmaCC
(Smalltalk Compiler-Compiler) is a freely available parser generator for
Smalltalk. It is a replacement for the T-Gen parser generator. T-Gen has
several limitations that make it difficult to produce parsers. SmaCC
overcomes T-Gen's limitations.
Cincom Systems,
Inc. and The Refactory Join Forces to Create
the Ideal Extreme
Programming Environment
CINCINNATI, Ohio - Cincom Systems, Inc. and The Refactory Inc. announce that they have
entered into an agreement to bundle The Refactory's Refactoring Browser
(RB) with Cincom Smalltalk's VisualWorks® development environment.
The RB is a powerful tool that
allows a developer in Cincom Smalltalk's VisualWorks to quickly and
safely reorganize their code. With the RB, you can automatically break
large methods into smaller, more maintainable ones. You can migrate
class attributes up or down a hierarchy to clean up a design.
Additionally, the RB allows you to rename a method, and then
automatically track references and rename them. The tool integrates with
SmallLint, which targets inefficient code and "cleans" it.
All of these features make the
Refactoring Browser the preferred tool for Extreme Programming (XP),
which advocates a programming style in which constant redesign of a
system is not only desirable, but mandated. With the RB, this kind of
dynamic redesign is made simple, automatic, and safe.
The RB is a now-legendary
refactoring tool that was developed using the tenets of XP by
refactoring pioneers John Brant and Don Roberts. Other XP luminaries
attest to the indispensability of this tool in promoting the emergence
of XP. For more information about XP, please visit either
www.extremeprogramming.com
or
www.xpprogramming.org.
With this announcement, Cincom and
The Refactory renew their commitment to fully integrate the premier
refactoring tool, the RB, and Cincom Smalltalk's development
environment, VisualWorks, to form a powerful XP environment. With
VisualWorks' version control system, StORE, providing the necessary
repository, a bundled copy of open source SUnit brings automated unit
test to the mix, and the "Tool of Choice" picture is complete:
Collaborative Development at its very best - unequaled in the eXtreme.
