Rapid Application Development (RAD) in ASP .NET

I keep forgetting to show this kind of demo: the fastest way from zero to ASP .NET app is via ASP .NET 3.5 SP1’s Dynamic Data feature that allows you to rapidly create web pages for data manipulation against existing data stores.

Check out this Channel9 video by Ingo Rammer on how to take that first idea even further by combining ASP .NET Dynamic Data with Entity Framework.

# re: Rapid Application Development (RAD) in ASP .NET

Hi Anton,

Many thanks for this video.I've just watched it.It's amazing how rapidely you can develop a data driven application. I see it's good for RAD, or for some proof of concept applications. But I'm still not sure how can I integrate real business logic, and how this will affect developement time and maintainability.

by the way, Inno said that the Entity framework should replace "linq to sql".  I'm currently going through some tutorials about "ling to sql" , So what do you think ? should I stop and go for "Entity framework" tutorials ?

Hi Alaa,

I find myself still reaching for LINQ to SQL, especially when in "RAD mode". When I have the time to plan a little or when I "know where I'm going", Entity Framework comes out on top for me.

But yes, invest time in Entity Framework tutorials because I think you'll get more for your time in the long run.
