Happy New Year, belatedly

I can't believe it, it's been over 3 months since my last blog and there has been a good reason why, I've been working night and day, or is it day and night, on developing iBuild, a graphical development environment for iScript.

And here it is, at least what it looks like...



The good news is that most of what you see if fully function, that's right you can use it to do something useful. But before I release it with iScript 2.0 I still have to do some more work.

I have to finish adding support for import, import. And I have to still do copy and move. Plus I would like to do a simplied ui that does not require use of a workspace, solutions and projects, basically you open source file and edit, run, debug them directly. And, less I forget, i have to still do project profiles, project properties, settings dialog, find in files, replace in files. And some cleanup, polishing of the user interface, things like position where caret will end up after operations, enable / disable menu items and toolbar bottons relative on current context, selected item and find / replace needs to wrap at end of file. In other words I still have another month or so of coding...

Now for the not so good news, I've decided not to support source code color highlighting and intelisense code completion in this release of iBuild. Just too much work.

Happy Holidays!

Man time flies when one is busy testing and sneaking in features. ;-)

Since my last posting I have been busy testing the language, fixing bugs, and adding things like Reflection API and simple command-line debugger.

Now all I have to do is come up with some examples that show off the new language, update the existing documentation and get it out the door, hopefully by early next year.

Cheers!!!

Happy Halloween!

I have some good news to report tonight.

But first, man I can't believe it's been over 20 days since my last posting. I've been very busy working on finishing up development of iScript 2.0.

And today I'm happy to post that development is basically done and starting tomorrow I will be working on documentation and creating some example(s) to show off the new release.

For now I have updated this Power Point Presentation etailing iScript 2.0 development that I did some time ago for ACGNJ Java SIG

http://www.servertec.org/public/iScript2.ppt

If anyone get's a chance to take a look at it, please let me know what you think.

More progress to report

Completed post decrement / increment support the day before.

Took time off from finishing virtual method support to port benchmarks from http://dada.perl.it/shootout/craps.html to iScript.

Although I did not finish porting benchmarks today I'm back on virtual method support. With some luck I'll have it done by today or sometime this upcoming weekend.

Had a pretty good day...

Hello again,

I had a pretty good day since my last posting. Basically I added support for namespaces and pre increment & decrement.

What's still to be completed is support post increment / decrement and virtual methods which I should finish in the next couple of days.

Then development phase is completed and I will move to documentation phase...

Once iScript documentation has been updated I will move to testing and then deploying the new release.

Welcome to My Blog

Hello and Welcome to My Blog.

I've created this Blog as a way to get community involvement, participation and input, feedback for my open source software projects, http://www.servertec.org/, http://www.dotnetit.org/, and http://www.acgnjdotnetsig.org/.

Yes, I've developed and funded them all by myself, at this rate I'll never be rich, unless I win the lottery. ;-)

Right now I've been working on iScript 2.0, adding object oriented programming constructs to the scripting language, yes Virginia you will be able to define and use your own classes, interfaces and much more with iScript 2.0 ;-)

I've also been working on Servertec Application / Internet Server 2.0, where I've created a completely new state-of-the-art engine that will not only support the latest release of the Servlet api, but is focused on Web Services.

So stay tuned, same bat time, same bat station, because more will be posted in the days, weeks and months to come.

In the meantime, if you would like you can find out a little bit more about me and my projects visit my website, mgoya.home.comcast.net

Cheers
