Statistics for November (Tuesday, December/03/2002)

In November 27.000 Pages were accessed from 6.000 Visitors in 66 countries. More than 80 % of the visitors use the English site. The entry page is now in English, to better support these users. Furthermore the guest book was revised.

New Release (Wednesday, October/30/2002)

Article (Wednesday, October/30/2002)

I wrote a new Article about the basic principles of effective class diagrams. Unfortunately for the time being the article is only available in german. If you have comments or can help with the translation please contact me.

Update (Friday, Oct/25/2002)

A compilation of all handled classes is now online.

Update (Monday, Oct/21/2002)

The web site was fundamentally reworked:

  • The diagrams became integrated in the site.

    The diagrams now have a navigation frame, which allows for a better localization, survey and navigation. Instead of opening a new window for every diagram, the switch takes place in the same window. This procedure complies better to the systematic of the web.

  • Better identification of the actual page.

    The actual page is now highlighted with a beam, which sticks out of the navigation frame. The actual page can therefore much more easily identified. This procedure was necessary because of the increasing number of pages.

  • The diagrams are now interactive!

    The diagrams now contain links. The class panels can be clicked to gather additional information. Collapsed classes will link to a detailed diagram. Other classes will open a new window with the Api documentation.
The search functionality will probably be reduced, until Google refreshes the index. These pages validate as HTML 4.01 and where tested with a number of browsers. If you experience functional problems please contact me.

News (Oct/11/2002)

A mayor update of the web site is in progress. The update will be published soon. A surprise is waiting...

Update (Oct/8/2002)

Minor cosmetic update.
I like to welcome a new world in our solar system.

Search implemented (Oct/5/2002)

With the help from Google the Site is now searchable. This is useful, if you look for the class diagram for a given class. Until Google indexes the whole side, the functionality is somewhat experimental.

Update (Oct4/2002)

Some minor changes:
  • The Guest book entry form doesn't have a email field anymore.
  • Some comments were added to the Class Documentation Project.
  • For better readability on CRT monitors, the CSS-Stylesheet is now using lighter colors.
  • Some email adresses were specified.
