Security

We host nuBuilder's web servers in a place where part of the security requires your hand scanned before allowing entry, that's the phyical security bit.
Its all SSL secured and each user needs a username and password, thats the electronic security bit.

But because nuBuilder is accessed from the web and not your own hard drive it means there are even more reasons that make nuBuilder a secure way of doing things.

People love stealing laptops and with data sitting on your own laptops it means they get all that too, as well as you losing all that.

The worst that can happen if they get a laptop that uses nuBuilder is they get the laptop and if you really want to be sure thay can't get to your nuBuilder application you can change your password!

Imagine

Imagine a tool like Microsoft Access that didn't need installing.
Imagine a tool like Microsoft Access that didn't charge site licenses.
Imagine a tool like Microsoft Access that didn't slow down if it had 100 users or more.
Imagine a tool like Microsoft Access that could be used from anywhere you could get the internet.
Imagine a tool like Microsoft Access that had a much shorter learning curve for developers.
Imagine a tool like Microsoft Access that gave people more access than Access.
You must be thinking of nuBuilder www.nubuilder.com.

The Future of Web Apps

We have 2 versions of nuBuilder, both called nuBuilder but one is obviously nuer.

Our newer version stores all data, layout and custom code in the same database so that backing up the database means backing up everything!

Including reports.

This is the future for web applications.

Software doesn't write software

Software doesn't write software, people write software

Just as guns don't kill people people kill people.
(although really its the bullets that kill the people)

Sorry Andrew for misleading you.

Not always the right people write software.

But the people that use nuBuilder are the right people to write software.

There are 7 of us currently but we have big plans!

Web Page

Oh. Our web page is www.nubuilder.com.

In The Beginning

This is the first post for nuBuilder's blog.

My name is Steven Copley and I run a company called nuSoftware, in Adelaide, Australia.

We write software that writes software and we also use this software (the one that we write) to write software.

Otherwise it would simply be software that isn't used to write software.

Sounds obvious, I know but I just wanted everyone to know that we actually use what we make so that others can make use of what we make.
