| | I spent the last 12 years of my life generating millions of 'C++' and COBOL/DB2 lines of code directly from a CASE tool in the retail and
health care industry. All done with point and click and I don't even know a lick of 'C' language! I presented at a 2003 conference and dazzled
the people attending with the magic of generating a Client/server application directly from a data model and process hierarchy of diagrams
containing business logic in generic Pseudo code that translated into C++, COBOL, and embedded SQL. That was not science fiction otherwise my
paychecks would have never gone through the bank for a dozen years. | |
Thank you for your thoughts on this. I like you defending your point of view when many have given up on CASE. Your arguments, however, do not
work on me, and will not get me back to CASE, I'm afraid. I do not deny the fact that there are useful s/w packages out there which are able to
generate useful code in a certain programming language for certain RDBMS for certain industries (I am myself using such tools on a daily basis).
Your initial argument was, however, that modeling processes in CASE tools would provide for, say, a smooth migration from Oracle to Teradata. Now
that I don't believe.
And, by the way, there are people earning zillions of dollars selling science fiction. Not that it applies to you and not that there is
anything wrong with science fiction.
What is wrong, however, is when IT departments are sold science fiction for years and then they are outsourced to somewhere remote.
Regards,
Victor
