The Who

So this is me, Paul that is.

I primarly lead development of EiffelEnvision and am currently integrating it into Visual Studio 2005. I also work to extend the Eiffel language to better support Eiffel for .NET. I do have a number of other project going around here so I do not get to attend to EiffelEnvision as much as I would like. You can expect some cool new things in the next release.

Personal Projects

I've got a number of personal projects being worked on concurrently and a number that I have planned.

Current Developments

• Eiffel and Python integration - A.K.A Slice of pyE.

Project To Come

• Coco/R for Eiffel
• Macro Base .NET (tiny implementation of EiffelBase for .NET projects)
• Eiffel framework for controlling Lego Mindstorms NXT brick via bluetooth (Windows, but all applicable platforms given help)

Suspended Projects

• Eiffel library for controlling HD44780 LCDs. The library is pretty much completed with the exception of one precondition that is too strong. It needs a little refresh to make the most of 5.7/6.0, using bit constants would make things look nicer. There is also the parallel port interaction for Linux/Unix based systems that needs to be completed. I'll put it to SourceForge if anyone wants to use it. It support display manipulation and custom character generation.
• Parallel port read/write library (Windows only currently).
• Eiffel TAR library. If anyone wants it I'll finish it.
• Windows Media Center integration of Eiffel LCD library.
