Recently I gave a presentation on BIRT at the Actuate International Users Conference. One of the things I discussed was embedding the BIRT Design Engine API into an application. This is an often overlooked aspect of BIRT, since most discussions center around report creation using the Eclipse editor and the BIRT Report Engine. I figured it would be cool to do something with the design engine as well. This is useful if your users would like to create their own simple, custom reports and you would like to give them that functionality. There are already products out there that are built on this concept.
The BIRT Design engine is actually a fairly simple API to use. It is part of the org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api package. The steps for creating a report using the API are illustrated below.

"In analyzing the video, Neal Krawetz of Hactor Factor, an expert on digital image forensics, said in his latest blogs that the video contained many visual and audio splices, and that all of the modifications were of very low quality." Good Job MSM! Maybe we will see a retraction on page 32.

Painless Software Schedules
Joel on Software: Painless Software Schedules
1) Use Microsoft Excel.
2) Keep it Simple.
3) Each feature should consist of several tasks.
4) Only the programmer who is going to write the code can schedule it.
5) Pick very fine grained tasks.
6) Keep track of the original and current estimate.
7) Update the elapsed column every day.
8) Put in line items for Vacations, Holidays, etc.
9) Put debugging time into the schedule!
10) Put integration time into the schedule.
11) Put buffer into the schedule.
12) Never, ever let managers tell programmers to reduce an estimate.
13) A schedule is like wood blocks.
