As a 25+ year developer of web-based applications, I’ve hated having to build all the code necessary to run a full-scale, multi-user database-“centric” application. Professional-level applications require a lot of code to perform the necessary tasks that go into a robust, well structured application.
While there are many frameworks available, I’ve found them lacking the professional-level tools I’ve needed to be able to do thing things I’ve needed for the types of applications needed. As a result, I’ve been forced to develop most, if not all, of the housekeeping software myself.
