Aaron,

When I think of CRUD, I simply thing of operations against a database table. A RESTful service can perform create, read, update and delete operations against a table with no user interface defined.

When I hear the phrase CRUD app, I think of a green screen that allows you to take some options against records in a display file. I know I don't want to develop web pages and mobile apps that resemble green screens. I could just use a screen scraper to do that--and then have users wonder why we switched from green screens, and why my web pages don't work like the web pages they view on the Internet. I get this.

But what exactly do you mean when you contrast a vanilla CRUD app with a better user experience?

Thanks,

I can understand the need for generated REST services (great for Javascript
front-ends) but was surprised to hear you espouse CRUD. In my experience the vanilla CRUD apps (even for internal use) are losing ground (as they
should) because a better experience is being demanded by both customers and employees. I think this is where WebSockets are really going to shine.

Are others still seeing CRUD apps as acceptable (from the customer/employee perspective)?

you never know what you run into, my web-systems runs side by side
with a varity of products.

btw, I am able to publish 600 tables with the same amount of generic
REST/CRUD services in less than 5 minutes by using my SDK - how long
do you think it will take to hand build the same in node.js?

Soon after you make the move to Web interfaces, you won't be
constrained
to
only supporting "employees". Most shops branch out to supporting
customers,
trading partners, and providing greater variety of Web services
across
more
application areas.
