As the Rev Occam (a relative ;-)?) declared, "Things should be made as simple as possible but not more so."<BR/><BR/>The idea is to take certain tasks that are hard to do with code (page layouts, hooking controls to services) without making it harder than normal to do the things that will always have to be done with some sort of logic.<BR/><BR/>You have inspired me to go back and de-drivelize my posting!Christopher Keenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452233158192995749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294880355377903512.post-14792697721958084562007-09-10T12:30:00.000-07:002007-09-10T12:30:00.000-07:00"The nirvana we are all shooting for is a world wh..."The nirvana we are all shooting for is a world where developers can assemble useful business applications <I>without coding or scripting.</I> [my emphasis]."<BR/><BR/>If that nirvana were actually to be realized, then it seems that we really wouldn't be talking about "developers" anymore, would we?<BR/><BR/>I think that your assertion in the quoted sentence may be based on an erroneous assumption. Since each business problem requires its own logic and workflow, whatever the form factor may be for representing the logic, wouldn't it still be, at its essence, coding and scripting?<BR/><BR/>I wonder whether a more appropriate framing the matter (with respect to the five points that follow in your post) is more that it's about what can be made trivial so that whatever coding and/or scripting remains can directly address whatever <I>actual</I> need or problem (be it a business need or a social innovation) needs solving. Or have I just misinterpreted your meaning in that sentence?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>--TedRevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278256335707848203noreply@blogger.com
