  5. Pros and Cons • Pros • Tight integration of object-oriented design, development, debugging and deployment • Subset of environment is accessible for beginners (one lab exercise mid-semester after familiar with another IDE) • Smoother transition into full-scale software development • Cons • Resource hungry – good with 2 GHz processor/1GB main memory, not good with significantly lesser machines • Whole product is too much for beginners • Cost

  6. Miscellaneous • More information: • http://www.togethersoft.com • http://www.borland.com/together • http://bdn.borland.com/together • Note: • In the past we used both Together and IBM Visual Age • Visual Age for Java will not be supported past 12/03 • New/Updated products => WebSphere Studio/Eclipse • If still interested in Visual Age, look at: • http://www7b.software.ibm.com/wsdd/zones/vajava
