DOT REAL-TIME TOOLKIT
DOT RTT, the Real-Time Toolkit, provides simple, cost-effective mechanisms to access data from different market data sources.
The DOT Real Time Toolkit was originally created over 15 years ago to make working with real-time data easier.
From its early days as a VBX add-in for Visual Basic 1.0, the goal of RTT has been to allow developers to create robust, high-performance, production-quality applications without having to worry about the details of the real time APIs or deal with threading models, buffering and retry logic.
Over the years, the scope and sophistication of the product has grown in leaps and its ease of use has improved in parallel. As the great terpsichorean Gene Kelly once said,
"If you make it look difficult you aren't trying hard enough.’
RTT now offers access to a wide range of data sources and can still be used with the COM Objects from Visual Basic 6 as well as C#, Java, Streambase and C++.
SURVIVING THE EXCEL SWAMP
A special mention should also be given to Excel. For many people in technology Excel amounts to a fetid swamp in which unstructured, untestable systems are developed by people who won’t take ’no’ for an answer. But for those who need to analyse data from multiple sources in a dynamic and unstructured way, Excel remains a highly flexible and useful environment.
DOT technology enables Excel to manage large sets of fast-moving data in a number of different styles, both on the worksheet and in VBA macros and C# applications. And RTT products provide ways of managing and monitoring the performance of RTT within these Excel environments, giving users tools with which to explore the contents of all feeds available to them.
