28 Oct 11 SQL queries made easy with Visual SQL-Designer
MOSCOW, RUSSIA (PRWEB) July 31, 2004
VisualSoft released the updated version of Visual SQL-Designer, the database interaction software that gained popularity among corporate developers, database users and data mining specialists. The new program supports most of the popular databases, including ORACLE, MS SQL Server, MySQL, SyBase, DB2, MS Access and other ODBC databases. Unlike other software of this kind, which works mostly through a web browser, Visual SQL Designer carries all the benefits of desktop applications.
The Designer’s main feature is its capability for re-engineering the SQL code acquired from external applications and broadcasting the obtained code to a visual development environment, generating the required object bundles and calculated field filters automatically.
Visual SQL-Designer can generate queries for multiple databases simultaneously. It allows building queries involving calculated fields and storing those on disk for latter use. Embedded OLAP functionality makes the multi-dimensional analysis more affordable and makes the benefits of the OLAP technology available to greater audience.

21 Oct 11 ZK Announces the Availibility of ZTL to the Java Community as the First Testing Suite Allowing Visual Comparison Testing Based on jUnit and Selenium
London (PRWEB) August 09, 2011
ZTL is an open source testing tool providing automatic recording and testing for ZK applications, offering developers the ability to rapidly create testing cases in order to verify functionality and features of their applications. The suite is built upon standard testing libraries jUnit and Selenium, combining together to provide seamless integration with the ZK framework without having developers to worry about the configuration of the selenium environment.
Additionally, the ZK team has taken testing to a whole new horizon by introducing the concept of ICT (Image Comparison Testing) providing an easy way to test component positioning. The reason and motivation behind developing this vision testing method is because it requires a lot of effort and time to verify all the status and styling of layout components and/or widgets by using normal unit testing techniques. This, therefore, has led to the idea of ?visual comparison? as it would be much easier, efficient and less time consuming to visually compare screenshots to allocate any discrepancies than to write numerous lines of assertions to achieve the same outcome.
The basic mechanism of vision testing is to firstly encapsulate the image comparison algorithm into a Java API called verifyImage() which then compares the current image with the standard version of the image. If an area is any different from the standard image, the test case will throw a jUnit AssertionError exception. to identify the area which failed and store the result for debugging purposes
ZTL is a powerful testing suite providing developers ease and convenience to test their ZK applications whilst leveraging both the client and the server side by simulating client action and sending them back to the server. ZTL now also supports scripts generated from ZK selector integrated Selenium IDE (without a need for a UUID generator) combined with Eclipse to test applications more quickly and effectively. ZTL is now available and has been gaining positive reviews from users around the world, to use ZTL, please refer to the project home page.
About Potix
Potix Corporation develops and supports ZK, the #1 Java based Ajax solution on SourceForge.net, the world’s largest open source host. Innovation is the most driving force behind the growing Potix. Potix delivered the first Ajax framework to support Java and Android phones, the first embeddable Ajax spreadsheet, and the first to synergize the power of pure Java, markup and scripting languages.

05 Oct 11 Perl and Python for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Now Shipping
(PRWEB) October 24, 2001
“Visual Perl and Visual Python are ideal tools for programmers who like the power and agility of Perl and Python and are familiar with Microsoft Visual Studio,” said Dick Hardt, Founder & CEO, ActiveState. “Programmers can take advantage of the advanced features in the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET IDE and develop Perl and Python for any platform.”
Were delighted with ActiveStates release of Visual Perl and Visual Python, the first of the third party languages released for Visual Studio .NET. This demonstrates a great benefit for programmers — the ability to easily use any language in Visual Studio .NET, said Marie Huwe, general manager of developer tools at Microsoft Corp.
Key Features:
Editor ensure quality code as you write it
Graphical debugger find errors fast
Regular Expression Debugger – leverage the power and brevity of regular expressions, easily
Dynamic help – understand your code fast with keyword help, easy access to relevant, in-depth ASPN resources, and access Perl module documentation directly
XML Web services extend the capabilities of your applications easily with XML Services
Visual Perl provides a simple, standard, and intelligent coding/ debugging tool for Perl development, said Rob Donat, Owner, Sedonatech. More often than not my code needs to work in both Windows and Unix environments, and developing in Windows becomes much easier using Visual Perl. While I still use MKS Korn Shell and the command line, along with vi, I do so less and less since Visual Perl essentially replaces the need for that in the Windows environment.
The edit-test-debug cycle in Visual Python is extremely fast. You can write a piece of code, debug it to see if it runs ok, and fix any errors within minutes, said Andreas Trawoeger, Developer, WGKK. Currently I’m writing a script for retrieving data from my companys switches and router using pySNMP. Decoding SNMP data is a quite complicated endeavor. With Visual Python it’s easy to check if my programs run the way they are supposed to do.
By leveraging the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET integrated development environment, ActiveState has been able to build plug-ins that give developers easy access to powerful, language-specific tools that work just the way they expect, said Eric Promislow, Visual Project Lead, ActiveState. The combination of editing features, graphical debugging, dynamic help, and other features like the Visual Perl Rx Toolkit helps developers get their work done quickly.
Additional XML Web services features planned for the future include: WSDL-based Intellisense, WSDL class browsing, and the ability to easily deploy and test Web services.
Visual Perl and Visual Python are $ 295 each. For a limited time, PDC attendees may take advantage of a special offer of $ 195 each. Educational licenses are also available. Visual Perl is also available with ActiveStates most advanced Perl programming technology and information solution, ASPN Perl.
About XML Web Services:
A Web service is a business function a company makes online to customers, partners, or internally via XML-based messaging (SOAP) and programming interfaces. Web services make integrating applications easier than other means of distributed computing and thus allow businesses to extend existing systems to others without having to rearchitect existing back-end infrastructure. Accordingly, Gartner Group suggests that mature Web services technology will increase the efficiency of IT development projects and are poised to have a dramatic effect on business.
About ActiveState:
ActiveState is the leading provider of open source based programming products and services for cross-platform development. ActiveState’s key technologies are Perl, the Internet’s most popular programming language; Python and Tcl, user-friendly scripting languages; PHP, the dynamic Web programming language; and XSLT, the XML transformation language.

17 Sep 11 Find What You Imagine ? Visual Image Search and Visual Image Sorting Technologies Presented at PMA 2010
(PRWEB) February 18, 2010
Conventional image search has reached its boundaries.
Typical image search is limited to displaying about 20 unsorted images at a time and that already is at the limit of human conception. Thus inspecting large sets of unsorted images is enormously time consuming and tiring, if not impossible. Having to provide a proper file name to every image or even adding keywords or tags to the images is a complex and time killing task. Even if carried out thoroughly, search results can be poor.
pixolution provides visual tools for visual objects
The idea of pixolution (http://www.pixolution.de) is that visual objects should be handled visually, thus being better suited to human perception. The software developed by pixolution is based on this vision and takes image searching to the next level. Hundreds of images can be inspected simultaneously with one glance. Images are displayed in groups according by their visual similarity. By zooming in, images of interest can be easily found. The pixolution software tools give a new look and feel to image searches. Meaningful file names for images are not required anymore, keywording can be minimized, navigating through large sets of images turns to a quick and easy task.
Mobile visual sorting presented at PMA 2010
Especially on smaller screens, finding images is a challenge. pixolution has developed a prototype application for mobile phones that performs visual sorting. This feature could be made available for other mobile devices and cameras.
Sort, search, learn
Visual sorting of images is the basic module. pixolution also provides a search tool for identifying additional images that are visually similar to a given or a selected image.
For image database providers, pixolution offers a component for learning of semantic relationships between images. The search results therefore get better with every use and without any additional effort required from the user. Now in its second generation, the unique demonstration search engine pixolu will be demonstrated at PMA 2010. It is faster, has a newly designed user interface and gives improved search results.
pixolution technologies already prove their commercial benefits
Among the first customers already using the new technologies are stock photo providers like “mauritius images”. Prof. Kai Uwe Barthel, founder and CEO of Berlin based pixolution: ?Basically our technologies are of interest for every company or individual dealing with large sets of digital images. For example, having their photos sorted visually makes life much easier for customers of photo kiosks. For web-based photo services we are proud to present at PMA 2010 in Anaheim a new tool that enables visual sorting and uploading of large numbers of images without having to install the specific software of the photo service provider.?
About pixolution:
pixolution GmbH, based in Berlin, Germany, was founded in 2009. The basic technologies were invented at the University of Applied Sciences HTW Berlin. The three founders took them to the commercially sustainable level. The mission of pixolution is: Find what you imagine. Visual management of visual objects is the driving force for improved image searches.
