I see a lot of things calling themselves Rapid Application Development (RAD) Tools.
Most of these seem to be tools for making any type of software application faster, much the same way creating a state of the art kitchen will allow any type of food to be prepared faster.
But what if you just want to make a sandwich?
A sandwich can have different ingredients and different flavoured sauces and can cater for any type of diet but essentially is a sandwich.
Making a sandwich is something Subway has perfected - they have the buns, the meat, the vegetables and the sauce all ready to go.
Ask for a Subway sandwich and chances are you'll have it in under 2 minutes. On the other hand go to a state of the art kitchen, where they can create anything and therefore make everything from scratch, and you could wait 2 hours for them to cook the exact same thing offered by Subway.
Most Rapid Application Development Tools are like the state-of-the-art kitchen.
They have been designed to be able to build anything from scratch, whereas nuBuilder is the Subway of RAD development when it comes to web-based database applications.
We have everything you need to make a web-based database application ready to go- Edit Screens, Search Screens, Permission Levels and the Report Writer.
We even have pre-defined modules already developed, available for download from our website. This way you can even choose a sandwich that has already been made.
This is the way I think RAD should work!
