MCI's Friends and Family program - remember that from a few years back?
The back end of that program was a custom NextStep (the precursor of Cocoa)
program. The U.S. Postal System's Customer Care System was implemented in
NextStep as well. Cocoa is descended from a serious enterprise development
environment and IMHO is the most elegant development environment I've
worked with, bar none. It's a shame that Apple seems to be actively
severing the Enterprise-specific functionality, but that's another thread
altogether.
I got a lot of cheers and giggles for my comments at one WWDC
feedback section, particularly:
1) The bundling of EOF with WebObjects presumes that no databases
existed prior to the web and that no databases (or persistent
objects) occur outside the context of the web.
2) Most databases are not on the web and never will be.
I'll spare y'all the impassioned plea for EOF in ObjC (as a separate
product), but you can imagine. :)
Well, back to homework.
Speaking of which, if EOF had some kind of more standard output (UML,
for example), that would have prevented my having to create the data
model then re-diagram it to make the prof happy.....
