In Thread654-1393225 an off topic discussion was spawned about how development these days isn't programming...that because of the reuse of components, most development is drag and drop and there's not much programming involved (caveat: there were plenty of posters who disagreed with the above position). Subsequently today, I came across Iceberg on Demand, which states on the main page:
[tt]What is Iceberg?
Iceberg is a 100% web based platform for building, sharing and selling powerful business applications.
What can you do with it?
Build or configure your own apps using workflow, forms, reports, lists, web services, views, relational tables, charts, calendars and much much more...
How to start?
Iceberg comes with several powerful free applications for HR, CRM, Project Management, Rostering, Bug Tracking and more..
Then what?
Run your applications on our enterprise SAS-70 platform, sell them via our exchange or share them for free [/tt]
What are the opinions out there on development like this? Do you think in 5 years most technical users will be using something like this to develop "Enterprise Applications"?
