| R:BASE
provides a superb environment for the rapid production of database
applications. Oterro gives us
a way to benefit from the power of the R:BASE Engine when using Microsoft
Visual Basic as our main application development tool.
Using Visual Basic gives us access to incredible control and
diversity in the production of an application.
However, this does come at a price – compared to R:BASE there is
much more work for the developer to do.
“Recycling
Oterro” shows how we can start to close this productivity gap. Focussing
on techniques such as COM object production and use, coupled with table
driven structures, we discuss how you can gain great productivity through
real software re-use. Using
the power of Oterro, Visual Basic and Active Server Pages with WebClasses,
you will see how building block utilities can be harnessed and recycled to
speed production of both Windows and Web based applications.
