CodeFluent Entities is now used in more than 80 countries!

January 10, 2012 Leave a Comment

We typically refrain from posting product-related information on this blog and created a dedicated blog for our CodeFluent Entities product.

Still, we share here some major milestones for our product in terms of roadmap and we are proud to announce that CodeFluent Entities is now used in more than 80 countries.

We recently added a world-wide customer map on our web site showing all CodeFluent Entities customers:

The map is built in real-time, once a day, and circles are drawn using data from our activation database.

There is one circle per country, and its size and color depends on the number of activations per country. This means that what we show on this map are countries where actual developers used CodeFluent Entities at least once and not just visited our web site (we have visits from more than 160 countries, almost the whole world).

In the end, the map shows that, as of today, CodeFluent Entities is used in more than 80 countries!

Considering the fact that our international strategy really began about a year ago with the creation of the personal license and the fact that the end of the Beta phase for our Modeler ended in October 2011, this is really a good start!

We are still working on conquering the other 80 countries but let us keep some work for 2012 Sourire

Thank you to our customers and the happy developers that trusted the product!

SoftFluent resolutions for 2012 on this blog

January 3, 2012 Leave a Comment

Now is the time to wish our worldwide readers all the best for 2012!

New year is also a good time to take a bit of distance from day-to-day business and make resolutions.

Last year, we decided to start sharing our experience about .NET software development and we published various articles. Meanwhile, we were busy with our product that extended its audience to more than 160 countries.

But we did not find enough time yet to cover all the topics that we would like to talk about.

So let us make the resolution for 2012 to write at least 3 articles on each of the following topics:

  • Measuring software development performance,
  • Development teams management,
  • Software testing best practices,
  • Production-aware programming,
  • Software maintenance and evolution,
  • Platform choices,
  • Software methodologies & design,
  • Leveraging third-party code,
  • Software engineering tooling,
  • Off Shore development,
  • Trendy patterns that can kill you.

Stay tuned and be patient, we are more committed than ever on contributing to debates in those areas about .NET software development.

And once again, all the best to all developers around the world!

SoftFluent at Model-Driven Day 2011

December 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

SoftFluent was a sponsor again at Model-Driven Day on November 25th with a selected group of companies committed to evolving software development methodologies.

AlloCiné testified (in French) on how it significantly reduced its technical debt using CodeFluent Entities over a year using a step by step approach (full case study in English here). The case was strenghtened by the fact that it proved to be efficient both for the local developers and the off-shore team (located in Ukraine).

Carl Anderson delivered a short demonstration of new features inCodeFluent Entities, including its brand new modeler that has been released in October.

Since then, SoftFluent R&D accelerated delivering Visual Basic .NET support and a technical article illustrating heterogeneous technologies including Hibernate and Java code running on a Linux/Oracle environment. Those elements demonstrate strongly the benefits of a model-driven approach to avoid technology dependency.

Considering the quick pace of evolution of technologies, including inside a single vendor platform, this need is making more and more sense for who cares about the durability of his investments.
