Re: Web Enabling Applications - new Wiki page

That was basically my thinking...

Ideally, it should take little to no hand coding for a basic CRUD type app.

"Rapid Application Development" is very open to interpretation.

To me, RAD means that your CRUD applications are entirely generated based
on models (templates), such as BCD's offerings. Or, your CRUD applications
are defined via meta data stored in a repository and rendered via utility
or runtime engine such as m-power or WOW (quickest way I'm aware of to
produce new applications).

Ruby on Rails comes with a utility that generates "scaffolding" for CRUD
applications. I seem to recall something similar for PHP.

Traditional application development begins with an IDE that includes a
WYSIWYG designer for screens / pages, source file navigation, and code
editors for your various code and other types of files. The IDE may
partially generate various source elements, but not an entire application.
