Webcast: IBM Rational Data Architect for Blueprinting Your Enterprise Infrastructure

IBM is hosting a webcast titled “IBM Rational Data Architect for Blueprinting Your Enterprise Infrastructure” on July 18, 2006.

From the description:

“Learn how Rational Data Architect can help your organization gain a full and thorough understanding of your enterprise information architecture and how to create master blueprint of this information in the form of enterprise compliant data models.

Topics of discussion will include discovering your enterprise information infrastructure, discovering and defining information infrastructure relationships, and creating compliant data models.”

Using Eclipse for C/C++ software development

Just wanted to remind you that you can use Eclipse and the Rational design and construction products for your C/C++ software development projects as well as for your Java projects.

There is an article on developerWorks called “C/C++ development with the Eclipse Platform” that provides an overview of how to use the Eclipse Platform in your C/C++ development projects. The article also mentions how to install and run the CDT plugin which is the C/C++ Integrated Development Environment for the Eclipse Platform – and necessary if you want to use Eclipse for C/C++.

The benefits of software architecting

Peter Eeles (Senior IT Architect, IBM) has published his fourth and final article on developerWorks Architecture in a series on software architecture – this time on the benefits of software architecting. The article “covers the benefits that a business and an IT organization can derive from a sound software architecture“.

The article appears in the May 2006 edition of The Rational Edge.
