Hi All,
New user to this site, so "Hi" to all here
Have a general question about Web apps in general:
I have plenty of experience developing Windows apps over a number of years, and i'm used to the really smooth interfaces which it's dead easy to develop. No flickering screens or interfaces held together with bits of js everywhere.
Knocking up a couple of smaller test apps in ASP.Net 2.0, it strikes me what a huge bodge the whole thing seems. Trying to get a simple data entry form to look anything like professional is not a simple case of dragging and dropping a textbox on the form, but seems to require messing about with style sheets and similar black arts
Also, controls like the FormView seem awfully clunky and require the coder to define 3 templates to do [essentially] the same thing, which doesn't seem like progress to me.
All in all, despite my company's desire to have web apps (and I can completely see the attractions), I am wondering if the technology is yet easy and fast enough to use in a small shop where it's only me cutting code? In other words, should we carry on with our trusty Win Apps for a bit longer and wait for someone to sort out the whole ASP.Net interface thing to make it RAD?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
