>>I have to go along with Tom here. The thought that code generators will replace programmers has been around for a LONG time, like since the early 1980s. Yet software development remains one of the most in-demand professions. (The tricky bit is that the specific skills that are in demand keep changing).

>Mike, See hanks reply, This is not about code generators, but an application framework that will take away the pain we currently have from dealing with all kinds of 3rd party add ons. Jos Pols wrote a message about this a few days ago (though his remarks apply to windev). the framework deals with the stuff we have to program manually for e.g. security, encryption, code signing, cross platform etc. Its much more productive if those matters are provided out of the box without have to scramble your own.

>Walter,

Stop this right now! Dealing with new and developing technologies and 3rd party add-ons to compensate for the lack there-of puts food on the table! Can you spell *A*Z*U*R*E* ? :)
