Introduction To Code Generators

Code Generators are the core of the functionality of SilverModel, they turn your UML Models into Code.

A common problem with a lot of software development is that when you go from one environment to another environment e.g.(from a tablet to a browser) usually none of the code is reusable across the two different environments. Using SilverModel once you have created your model, it will create code for all your development environments.

So for example when we look at a customer data entry form. The one thing that is in common between them between the database server and the tablet app is the UML Model. This does not change between the different environments. The code may change from SQL to Objective C but the customer model stays the same.

By using code generators to generate the code for the UML models, it is possible to save days/weeks of time, since all the code to access, update and view the model is generated for you.

Writing code to move data between the different software layers is time consuming and difficult but SilverModel will allow this to become quick and easy.
