And looking at how much work is involved in even just setting up a JavaScript frontend, I’m pretty sure the Excel programmers are yet another order of magnitude more productive than the latter.
Which is kinda sad actually.
- gold7777 3y agoI agree. I worked as an analyst where due to security policies we only had VBA. There was application which consisted of an Access DB for a "front end" (containing an interface to input data, generate reports in ppt/excel, etc) which connected to another access database as the "back end" and an admin console to pull in data from a SQL database. I had a lot of fun maintaining it.
- steve1977 3y agoYeah I know MS Access & Co. have kind of a bad rap, but if I look at what we were able to actually achieve for the business/users with those tools, it’s really painful to see how little progress we have made in the last 20 years or so.
