- Data migration and data conversion, especially complex textual
data that requires a lot of parsing.
The Developer
My Ching was designed and developed by Finnian Reilly. Finnian has been an I Ching user for more than 20 years, and sought to make an I Ching journal that would satisfy his desire for a product that is truly elegant, powerful and visually configurable.
Development Language
My Ching was developed using the Eiffel
programming language and the EiffelStudio
development environment. Finnian prefers to develop with Eiffel
because it is exceptionally well designed.
The resulting code always looks elegant making it much easier to
read, understand and maintain. EiffelStudio makes it very easy to
navigate every aspect of the code.
Development Libraries
Beside the standard Eiffel libraries, My Ching makes
extensive use of the Eiffel-loop library
collection, also developed by Finnian. These libraries were used
for the database, the search engine, UI internationalization, XML
parsing, button customization, and many GUI components.
My Ching Website
This website is designed by Finnian Reilly as an adaptation of
the Wordpress theme, "Japan Style", from Good Design Web. The
pages for this website are generated by Fast CGI servlets
developed by Finnian using Eiffel, the Goanna web application
framework, and the Evolicity template substitution language
(part of the Eiffel-loop
library collection).
A tool in the Eiffel-loop
library collection allows web content authored with the Thunderbird
email client to be exported for inclusion in an Evolicity
script.
