- Documentation With DocsMaker: Management Simplicity Plus Code Example!
- Do you develop commercial COM servers? Do you distribute third-party developers' components?
Do you sell your own libraries? Congratulations! Being a guru in the COM area, you realize the technology's pros:
- No language dependency of client applications
- Using ActiveX documents
- Using Internet applications
- A brief list of languages, in which a client application can be developed, includes: C++, C#, Delphi, JavaScript, VB...
- Simplicity of operation
- Simplicity of distribution
Never studied Delphi or VB? Do you write your code in C++? Sum it up: get in the mood for working, coat yourself with books, allocate 3 hours of your time and begin writing the code for component usage examples. It would be great if the code will be available in several languages.
In a word, the more you cover, the better it will be for you. Keep in mind that just by having your code written in VB you will cover the prospective
market of over 3,000,000 specialists. Got the examples written in Delphi? Excellent! Thousands and thousands Delphi programmers will gladly use your code! Give the specialists examples of using your code! Don't keep in secret the charm of methods and properties of your carefully developed and debugged objects. And you will be amazed, how quickly your components will lay the path to their hearts. But certainly you don't have to write all that on your own. We are glad to invite you to check out this unit for generating example codes on using your components. The unit is built in the DocsMaker that we would like to present. The unit will automatically create examples on using your COM server code in 5 languages. These examples use the approaches to the creation and management of COM-object instances adopted in the development environments that the code is being created for. Certainly, the software will use the real methods used by your objects. Please note that the code generated by the software can be edited at any moment. It is just a blank that implements the required COM initialization functionality. You can always breathe a life in the code with your creative imagination. The example code, along with your descriptions, resides in source files as comments on the program code. This approach demonstrates a number of obvious benefits:
- A single location of the code and descriptions on it (examples, blocks of text) ensures the high level of data actuality. Ay any moment of time, either for compilation or for the creation of documentation, you will need only the source files and nothing else.
- Integrity; namely, it's the matching between text blocks, examples and descriptions, and the blocks of code that they are intended for.
- The convenience of operation with a single file is yet another factor of not a small importance.
