Imagine always having driven traditional cars...…with traditional dashboards…


Then one day a new revolutionary car arrives……with a new revolutionary dashboard…


Traditional New



Uniface 10 IDEA look at the new developer


Uniface 10 Concepts• Development Objects and Main Development Objects• Modeled Objects and Derived Objects• Templates and Palettes• Projects • Libraries


Uniface 10: The Uniface IDE [1]• New Editors• Code Containers• ProcScript Inheritance• Compiled Modules Inspector• Triggers• Modelled Components• Modelled Properties


Uniface 10: The Uniface IDE [2]• Component Variables• Global and Compile-Time Constants• Repository


Uniface 10 Changes, examples [1]• …in terminology (UDE→IDE, template→modeled object, etc.)

• …in ProcScript inheritance (overlay inheritance vs. container inheritance )

• …in Subtype Property Inheritance (real instead of simulated inheritance)

• …in discontinued functionality (Classic deployment, deployment env.)

• …in discontinued Platforms and Databases (OpenVMS, IBM Iseries, HP-UX Unix, RDB, RMS, SolidDB)

• …in trigger names (Execute trigger→Exec operation, etc.)

• …in ProcScript (new: $instancelayout, changed: component variables )


Uniface 10 Changes, examples [2]• …in JavaScript API (numerous enhancements, new: uniface.datastore)

• …in Properties (Renaming in Property Inspector for consistency and clearness)

• …in Configuration Settings (assignment- and initialization settings, logicals)

• …in command line switches (new: /tpl, /plt, obsolete: /rma, /exe )

• …in Repository (Not possible to run U10 IDE against U9 repository)

Please remember:• These are just some of the enhancements• Migration takes care of changes in triggers and inheritance

The Uniface 10 IDEA first glance at the new developer




Navigation


Browse via U-Bar


Multiple editors


The Editor


The Resource Browser


The Properties Editor


Task Driven Worksheets


Project Support


Project Resource Browser


Project support• Center of Navigation• Collection of Development Objects• Scope for various actions:

• Compile• Deploy• Export

• U9 subsystems are not migrated to U10 projects (for good reasons)


Script Editing

My personal experience with Uniface 10 so far…


the Kubler-Ross Change Curve

https://www.cleverism.com/understanding-kubler-ross-change-curve/




General positive findings• Developer stays in one well-developed main screen• Less separate actions needed to perform a certain task• Creating objects seems more natural compared to U9
