Higher level programming with CodeGear Delphi

Higher level is already available with ECO, that is, Model Driven Applications based on Object Relational Mapping and easier GUI development.
But ECO, which was born in Win32, was moved to .NET before most of Delphi developers recognize it.
Right now, it is one of the best hidden products in CodeGear.

On the other hand, it is possible to make higher level things with Delphi + ECO.

For example, most of the applications I develop could be designed around a few visual paradigms (my own design patterns) and implemented with Delphi + ECO.
I want to be even more precise:
1) ECO allows me to create the model (classes, relationships and constraints) for my domain objects.
2) It is possible to create a visual component for editing the runtime instances (there are several known applications based on this Configuration / Instance Map) which will need just the metadata already defined with ECO.
...

If you base your application on models and take advantage of those models for creating a full fledge application with almost zero lines or code, you will be providing a much higher level tool, while allowing the programmers to use Delphi code for some specific processing.

By using MDA, your model is your application. Microsoft is using their tools in .NET for creating a lot of code, because for them "code is the application".
It is an opportunity for CodeGear...

Llegó el turno de conocer Los Angeles y nos fuimos a trabajar a The Kitchen Warehouse... Pero luego, Alex nos sorprendió con una invitación a un restaurante de comida cubana, el Versailles. Tenían de todo, pero pedí con moderación: unas entradas con yuca frita, croquetas con jamón y queso, masitas de puerco frito; seguimos con arroz blanco, potaje de frijoles negros, plátano maduro frito, ropa vieja y acompañamos con unas Matervas, terminando con unos cascos de guayaba con queso crema... (ahí se puede ver el destrozo que causamos)

Nuestras primeras visitas en Newport Beach fueron a la parte antigua, junto a la costa y a la bahía interior. Comenzamos por The Crap Cooker, un restaurante realmente viejo. Continuamos con Newport Landing (esta foto fue tomada en la terraza exterior) y luego recorrimos las calles, antes de cruzar por el ferry hasta la Isla de Balboa...
