It always shocks me how long technology hangs around. It's easy to forget how many critical systems are powered by VB3 or Cobol.

- ErikAugust 13y agoIt would be cool with in modern web development there were a tool that allowed you to design webpages as easily as you could design UI in VB3. Just saying.
- thwarted 13y agoThere have been a few attempts. The autogenerated code isn't/wasn't all that great. I periodically use something like Quickbase, which lets you focused on the data collection and processing aspect, rather than where widgets go on the screen (VB3's UI being the first thing you interact with and what everything is tied to leads to some less than ideal maintenance nightmares).
- TimJYoung 13y agoOur product, Elevate Web Builder, provides this type of functionality: http://www.elevatesoft.com/products?category=ewb&type=web http://www.elevatesoft.com/products?category=ewb&type=web For example, coding a button event handler is just like it is in Visual Studio/Delphi - just double-click on the button in the form designer and you're in the code editor positioned inside of an empty event handler code block.
