[http://www.scons.org SCons] has been participating in the SOC for a couple of years and [http://scons.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=12782 the SCons mailing list] has a similar call for ideas. I have an idea for both: '''Eiffel support in SCons'''! Ok, you may be aware that I've already written [http://scons.org/wiki/EiffelStudioTool an Eiffel builder], but a smart student could vastly improve on what I've done. Anyway, my builder is just sitting there on the Wiki; incorporating an Eiffel builder as a standard SCons tool would help promote Eiffel.

Welcome to the EiffelStudio's participation in the Google Summer of Code. You will find below a list of project ideas for students who want to participate in the 2010 event. Students will be mentored by an experienced member of the Eiffel Software team or a long time community member specialized in the domain of the project.

If you have a suggestion, create a new page describing your project using this template and reference it below.

What is the Google Summer of Code?

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects.

Read the Google Summer of Code FAQ for more details about the program.

Why choosing Eiffel and EiffelStudio for the Google Summer of Code?

EiffelStudio is a complete development environment available on numerous platforms. With a long history, the simplicity of the Eiffel language and its modular structures make it possible for newcomers to start contributing after a surprisingly short amount of time.

The Eiffel language is distinguished by the following properties:

  • Full object-oriented model (not a hybrid with pre-O-O approaches).
  • Genericity (constrained and unconstrained), inheritance (single and multiple).
  • Design by Contract mechanisms (preconditions, postconditions, class invariants) for: analysis and design of reliable system; specification; automatic documentation; testing and debugging; control of the exception and inheritance mechanisms.
  • Agents (closures, i.e. high-level function objects, with the power of lambda calculus).
  • Designed for garbage collection and for highly efficient executables (performance comparable to C or C++).

In addition, Eiffel is not just a language but a method of software development emphasizing software engineering principles such as: seamless development (covering the full lifecycle, not just implementation, in a consistent way); reversibility; uniform access; open-closed principle; command-query separation. These principles are developed in the book "Object-Oriented Software Construction" (Bertrand Meyer, 2nd edition, Prentice Hall), one of the all-time best-sellers in computer science, Jolt Award winner. The consequence for students is that using Eiffel for the Google Summer of Code means the ability not only to produce programs but to learn a software engineering discipline that will help them throughout their career.
