Visual Studio 2010 LightSwitch

Couple of months ago Microsoft announced that they are developing application for creating simple business applications without coding. It is still in Beta 1. This is a simple system that allows you to create forms for aditing database tables and glue them together in an application.

Application built with this are not amazing, but usefull little things that I can quicly deploy to allow customers to search and populate simple set of little tables. Instead of getting an application developer and doing a project for couple of days or weeks, I can provide solution in couple of hours.

Another intersting aspect is that applications can be deployed as Windows (2-tier or 3-tier ClickOnce) or Web (3-tier) applications. This is due to the fact that applications are built on Silverlight platform.
