Mongoose Rapid Application Development

• Wizard-driven features to create tables, IDOs and base forms

• Basic functions pre-plumbed

• No separate development tool, it’s in Mongoose

• Code can be added as needed using standard Microsoft languages (VB.NET & C#)

• Minimise code via metadata (Forms, IDOs and Workflows & Alerts)

• Behaviour implemented via the event-driven architecture

• Code is .NET, built in Visual Studio, managed by the framework

• Uses Microsoft SQL Server databases

Why is it fast? How does it work?
