In reply to Dolphin U is now Trident (again)

xeluan•31st of December 2014

I´m a little bit confused! This means there will be 2 versions of dolphin? On the one hand Trident and on the another hand Dolphin Pro? Anyway, I have checked the new code of Dolphin U alpha and now I´m really confused. It seems that dolphin U alpha code based on Dolphin 7.1.4. That´s right? If so, why you have made this decision? I hoped, the new dolphin is more modular, more flexible, especially for developers. There is no using of unit testing or BDD. You make no use of namespaces! (really??). see more

Not 2 versions of Dolphin. Just one Dolphin and one Trident. They are rather different and need their separate homes and separate names. How different? Think OS X and iOS different. One has more features and is more capable, but requires a more knowledgeable operator. Another one does fewer things, does only some of them better and is more user-friendly. It just depends of your needs and on who you are.

Many thanks for your reply Andrew. Now I understand it better. But which of them will have a better code basis and code quality? Dolphin Pro or Trident? I think for all developers it´s important to know how you develop Dolphin Pro. Do you use the base of Dolphin 7.1.4? It´s a complete new engineering process? Which technical benefits we will have after using Dolphin Pro or Trident? It would be very helpful if you can give me more explanations about this. Thanks in advance!

Andrew, can you give us some additional informations about technologies you will use in Dolphin Pro and Trident? I think it´s not only important for me to know how I can use Dolphin Pro technically. Dolphin 7.1.4 still now has not a good and modular architecture. It´s very hard to extend it without touching the dolphin code, you understand what I mean? What do you have planned about this very important requirement?

Development process of Trident is covered here:

Development of Dolphin Pro has almost no changes from the development of Dolphin 7.1, but we will use the best principles from Trident over the time.
