    Here it is: a request for the Ultimate Tool, hot off the presses of Q&A: "Can anyone suggest any tool currently that can be used to develop business application? I have huge understanding of business and would prefer to concentrate on the business than working on the details of the technology. I prefer to let the tool generate all the user interface, either web based or windows based and business rules. All the database and all the processing. Preferably, the tool is easy to use, generate C# codes." Don't believe me? Tool for Business Application Development[^]

    Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

      I'm sure I've seen something along those line advertised or reviewed in the last couple of months. Something that lets the users put together workflow diagrams to build their own business process application. No idea what it was called tho.

        There is a package called Portrait that is supposed to do that, however even then you need a shed load of "configuration" and "business specialists" to get it to do what you want

        You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

            Clearly such a tool could only be created by the tool itself. Sort of a philosophical chicken and egg type of problem. Perhaps it can will itself into existence.

              Any tool that had to balance the competing requirements of business users will end up schizophrenic.

                  :laugh: no that's not what i was thinking of. What I was talking about is real, and probably expensive to use. The link to it was probably posted as a "Soon we'll all be out of work!!!" thread here in the lounge. :laugh:

                      I don't see anything wrong with this request. I have special, top secret tool from Hong Kong that takes in Word document business rules and then writes the application for me. I have never "actually" coded anything in my life. It works in any language and is platform independent. Again, I don't see what the fuss is all about.
