I don't have a lot of experience developing web-based data entry software, but comparative to Oracle Forms, Visual Studio, and various 4th generation languages, creating the user interface layout used to be a snap.
It seemsl ike these days, just creating the user interface for developing web applications is a huge pain in the butt. Just trying to get your text entry fields and widgets to go where they are supposed to is extremely painful, and requires you to know JavaScript, CSS, jQuery, HTML, etc. There has to be an easier way to develop data entry forms that produce the needed, underlying code for a webpage.
Am I just not looking in the right place? It seems like there must be some kind of WYSIWYG GUI development tools out there for developing data-entry forms.
Can anyone give me some good suggestions?
WYSIWYG (pronounced wiz-ee-wig) is a type of editing software that allows users to see and edit content in a form that appears as it would when displayed on an interface, webpage, slide presentation or printed document. WYSIWYG is an acronym for "what you see is what you get."
C# used with ASP.NET is strong in this area, but there is a learning curve to overcome. You can get the free versions by downloading the latest Visual Studio Express from Microsoft. The catch is that you are stuck with Windows for development, for better or worse. Visual Studio only runs on Windows.
