“I downloaded Codus v1.0.2.0, and quite frankly, it is about as simple
to use as you can get.“
“I have to say the code created by Codus is pretty cool and very easy to grasp
and maintain. I haven't run it through the paces yet, but it seems very clean
and a good place to start for those who have not used an O/R Mapper before.
I mean, seriously, how easier can it get to create and save an address in the address
table...“
“I can't do Codus justice as to all the functionality that is packed into
the DAO. Read the documentation to
see all the methods. If you get a chance, I recommend downloading
Codus and reviewing the code it generates. I also recommend checking out
the sourcecode to the Adapdev Framework as there are some gems in there as well.
By the way, did I mention that if you wanted to change the output by Codus, like remove
the GetOrdinal in the mapping method, all you need to do is change the templates.
Cool stuff, and FREE!“
Some of the recommendations that he had were GUI improvements and a performance improvement
around the usage of GetOrdinal in the MapObject method. They're fair recommendations,
and one's that I'll try to include in the next release (I've asked David for some
guidance around the UI features he'd like added).
It's a great post. David even goes into the underlying patterns that Codus uses
and the way the internals work...very cool! Check it out if you get a chance!
