Presentation given by Ryan Hayes to the Tri-Cities .NET User Group in Kingsport, TN.

2. Staples of a developer’s life.
0 CRUD screens.
0 Reports.
0 Authentication and security – a top priority.
0 Releasing and Maintaining applications at bizarre
times of the night are sometimes required.
0 And more…

3. Things that make developers’
lives suck.
0 CRUD screens are boring.
0 Users know the information they need in a report better
than we do. -OR- It would take half as long if they could do
it themselves.
0 Authentication and security has been done before, but we
have to build another login screen…and security…and
filtering…every single time.
0 Sleep is better than deploying. Deployments should be
easier by now!
0 And more…
0 Basically: Rebuilding plumbing for every application..
IS LAME!
