A statistical update

When you take over someone else's code and have the intention of improving it, it is typical to see the code size deflate and then inflate again.

The last time I posted about the statistics and analysis of the code, I showed how Manager had shrunk heavily compared with the earlier version (v1.6). At the time, we had the tough job of going through all the code refining and improving it where it could be. Naturally, we found wasted code that was then stripped out. This brought the code back to a basic, but highly optimized level.

Once we start implementing new features, or simply improving the old, the code starts to grow again.
Therefore, I thought I'd post the code statistics based on where we are now compared to September 2011.

EISNet v1.7 (September 2011)

Code Lines: 10,761 (62.75%)
Comment Lines: 1,706 (9.95%)
Blank Lines: 4,681 (27.30%)
Modules: 5
Classes: 1
Forms: 28

EISNet v1.7 (January 2012)

Code Lines: 13,443 (61.24%)
Comment Lines: 2,510 (11.43%)
Blank Lines: 6,000 (27.33%)
Modules: 5
Classes: 1
Forms: 26
User Controls: 2

It is important to note that as of the January version, the source code includes Package Manager (previously known as Applications) and Archivist tools.

If you include into Septembers Manager source, the old Applications and Archivist modules, the total lines of code would be 36,587. This is now down to 13,443 and is all in one application. That's 36.7% of the original size.
