I've been coding the last 5 years...and supervise a development team...we mainly use C#.

I'm writing a new system myself...and I don't want to spend alot of time coding...more on business logic. .NET is pretty quick...has everything that I already want built..but coding the full 3-tiers is just time consuming.

Is there a quicker architecture/technology that is even faster than .NET?


Thanks
 
Have you looked into VB.NET at all? It might be a bit easier, but I have no experience either way--just going off impressions 🙂

Click to expand...

Can't get much faster than VB.NET IMO.
 
If you combine Flash MX 2004 with a program like SWFStudio v3 i have found it to be a fairly fast development platform that allows for a lot of possiblities...but really for the programs i develop (training) it has made the msot sense because everything had to be multiplatform and all.

It really depends on what your developing and who its for i think. VB works great for business based apps, flash for demos and training.
 
Warning: Subjective opinion:

I've been with BASIC for so long that I can't break myself of VB6. It's like an English speaker who's been to the US, Canada, Australia, England, etc. NOTHING is faster than making an interface first, and then adding the code to it later. I'm hooked. The only thing I wish BASIC had that's so great about C is the ease of pointers and data type swapping.

Commodore CBM (Hardware, primitive OS)
GWBASIC (DOS 3.3)
QBASIC (DOS 5)
QuickBASIC 4.5
VB1 (Windows)
VB3
VB4
VB5
VB6
 
Maybe look into Borland's .NET products? That wouldn't be too far from your current expertise and Borland is very good at the whole RAD thing. Although I think they've traditionally focused more on 2-tier architectures on the large end.

I've seen reports of people doing this sort of stuff incredibly fast with java tools like hibernate and spring. But obviously that's highly dependent on where your expertise is and that sort of stuff is a long way from a point and click IDE (although it's going to get there eventually).

Whatever way you go, if you're entirely focused on speed, choosing what you know best will probably the fastest.
