It is time again for the PICK User Group Meeting.  Please, let Caroline Okeson  know if you plan on attending so we can get a head count!


                         Atlanta Area Pick Users Group
                             September 16th Meeting
                             Speaker: Lee Bacall
                             Topic: Nucleus

If you have ever wanted to add a Graphic User Interface (GUI) to your applications, but didn't want to deal with the complexities of Visual Basic, C# or Java, we will have a presentation on the Nucleus environment from Binary Star Development. Nucleus can make GUI incredibly simple to deploy and support.

Nucleus is a host-based environment for rapidly developing and deploying easily supportable applications in both character mode and GUI.  There is NO code divergence between character based and GUI applications.

Come see what Nucleus can offer your organization or IT staff.

Nucleus Features:
  * Rapid development - rapid deployment
  * Screen builder
  * Menu Manager
  * Report builder
  * Security down to the field level
  * Development tools
  * File maintenance and Dictionary manager
  * Corporate Messaging
  * Change control and version control
  * Source code control with check-in/check-out
  * Patch set and distribution utilities for VAR's and resellers
  * Structured framework simplifies support
  * NuQL - Nucleus query language with integrity management
  * Terminal independence
  * Integrated Data Warehousing support

If you are a VAR, Nucleus can make your applications not only easier to use, but easier to sell.

A $50.00 door prize will be donated by Binary Star Development Corporation
The presentation will be by Lee Bacall, President of Binary Star.

  He has used Nucleus since 1996.


Worth mentioning:
Nucleus creates "objects" with "properties" that easily map to complex data structures.
As most developers have found, the strict definitions that must be made to connect object-model front-ends to nested Pick style tables can be a time-consuming and tedious provess.  With Nucleus, the data mapping is often done without any coding, using existing data dictionaries and correlatives (or "joins" as they are called in the object world). 

An application created in Nucleus will soon be able to support (from a single set of non-divergent code):
    a) GUI - Visual Basic / .NET (with Active X extensions)
    b) GUI - Java, Java Beans, etc.  (able to address ANY standard database)
    c) GUI - C#                               
    d) GUI - Delphi objects
    e) Character based color
    f) Dumb terminals (Adds 4000, Wyse, etc...)
All at the same time, all following the same rules, all without conflict.
