Now available on our website: a user-friendly, easy-to-run, downloadable demo of RainCode. See for yourself how RainCode can deal with your source code.

What's new?

The RainCode dynamic step-by-step demo is a Wizard-like environment, which allows you to see how RainCode actually works, without having to go through heavy tutorials or specific workshops, and without having to learn how to write a RainCode script or use any command lines.

We prepared this demonstration on COBOL examples, and it will soon be available for other programming languages as well. You will find it on our website, http://www.raincode.com/cobollg.html.

When downloading this demo you actually get a version of RainCode running on your computer, which shows you much more than a simple slide-show presentation. This demo presents you some of the most essential RainCode functions, applied to real world COBOL-source samples. Make the demo run, and RainCode executes itself before your very eyes.

This program includes:

• the source code on which RainCode is applied,
• the result of RainCode's work,
• for each step, an explanation of what it does,
• the RainCode scripts.

You can visualise the demo as a sequence of steps. For each step, the wizard tells you which of the RainCode functionalities you are about to see and what the purpose of the operation is. You then get to see the RainCode script that implements this operation, along with substantial comments. Last but not least, RainCode is launched and executes right in front of you the previously described manipulation.

In less than 5 minutes, you can see how RainCode works, and some of the things it does.

Don't wait any longer: download The RainCode dynamic step-by-step demo from our website: http://www.raincode.com/cobollg.html!

That's all folks !!!

And since we are still in January, (I know, not for long anymore), we wish you all a very Happy New Year!

In our next newsletter, we will tell you how RainCode renovates COBOL code to improve its structure and readability, for instance, when dealing with generated COBOL code, for which the original tool is not supported any longer.
