if you define complexity by the amount of admin pages, then it is not complex. You can have a basic crud app with 100 pages of CRUD forms, does it make the app

if you define complexity by the amount of admin pages, then it is not complex. You can have a basic crud app with 100 pages of CRUD forms, does it make the app "complex" ?
Google Maps has 1 screen ,but all the infrastructure required to make it work is complex, and the code required to display maps is too. That's what a complex app is. Not an app with 100 screens of CRUD, reporting or whatever.
- markkanof 13y agoIt doesn't make it complex in the sense of logical complexity, or back end infrastructure complexity, but it does make it complex in terms of user interface layout. Hundreds of pages with thousands of fields. When building these kind of enterprise CRUD apps there will usually be a lot of commonalities between pages, but also there will be tons of little edge cases that only apply to a couple pages and usually need to be addressed individually. You could certainly argue that better design might eliminate those edge cases, but the reality is that designers/developers working on enterprise apps aren't usually given the opportunity to do the extra work to really work out all the kinks.
