[AccessD] From a reader

What are you talking about Jim, there is such an app, I think you
already mentioned it... it's called Notepad.... ;)

I actually really like ASP.Net. It has some wonderful features.  But
someone coming from a non-web GUI, may not realize how ASP.Net is
actually 'mimicking' the interface interactions they are used too, and
it just gets ugly then.

I think that ASP.Net is a great program but if you just let the system
create the forms for you, there will be so much traffic going on behind
the
scene that a big commercial application would have to have a server farm
just to run it. By default the program wants to create some kind of
bound
BE... total insanity as far I can see. (duck and cover) ;-)

What has to be done after the FE is boiler-plated together, is you have
to
go in and remove hundreds of lines of extra code and hand code the data
connection... I know just how you feel. I have written very few
applications
compared to the dozens I have had to come in and cleaned up. When the
app is
completed it just snaps in comparison...and this is not rocket
science...if
I can do it anyone can.

I think if any mid-range commercial application (20K hits per hour)
needs
more that 2 servers to manage the operations BE; this is not counting
data
storage, backup, fail-over, security or mail boxes but the real BE
manager,
there is a problem with how the app was written. I have seen so many
systems
where the techs just keep throwing more hardware at a blotted web
application when just cleaning up the code, would solve so many
problems.

One day there may be a web building program that can build super tight
code
but not today.
