Morfik and Rapid Development of Modern Web Apps
Bobby Jasper writes to tell us that The Firebird Database Community News has an interesting writeup on Morfik, a new development tool for beginning web applications. Morfik boasts increased developer productivity going so far as to draw comparisons between themselves and the current industry as VB 1.0 was to GUI development. After five years of development they are getting ready to release an evaluation version of their software, might be worth a look.

Wasn't a recent quote of the day on slashdot " You know, of course, that the Tasmanians, who never committed adultery, are now extinct. ~W. Somerset Maugham, The Bread-Winner"
:)
Maybe that's why Tasmanians have been able to develop a software industry. No wasting time hanging around bars trying to pick up women. Just visit the relatives, quick pickup then back to coding
And yes, I did live in Tasmania for awhile and learnt the had way don't ever put down a person when speaking to someone about them, they are probably related !
I just want morfuk.
Yes, because we all know that only MCSEs and Microsoft fanboys would ever care about a development tool on a Microsoft platform. Everyone else has freed themselves from the tyranny and evil that is Microsoft. Real geeks wouldn't touch their products with their cubemates yard stick, except maybe to push the LiveCD into the tray, and even then the yardstick would have to be ritually burned. It's a good thing we programmers determine exactly which servers a company will use and set all of the guidelines for the technology.
In other words, just because you feel that Windows and Windows-based software is a waste of time, doesn't mean that some of the rest of us are willing to treat programming as something other than a religion and take the time to examine other possibilities for a specific platform. But thank you for your input, it helps when I see a comment like yours first thing in the morning. It helps me keep perspective on my own dislikes, to remind me that even if I do have a Linux machine on my desk, I have not fanatically assumed that no good software could be written on another platform. Maybe that puts me further back in the line for the kool-aid, but I like to think it puts me closer to the real programmers who are interested less in the platform and more in what can be done with it.
Whee signature.
