By "wizard" I mean any technology that automate or otherwise "handles"
a task so a developer will not have to code the same. This could be a
traditional step-by-step question/answer dialog that later spits out
code. A wizard could also be a rules-based system that automates a
task on one system that may otherwise need to be manually coded on
another.
Our logic with NOT using D2W is that certain pieces will be handled
through this rules base system and, therefore, not coded by our
developers. This will force us to be locked in to the WebObjects
platform much more tightly then we can afford at this stage.
Additionally, since all of our folks are .NET guys, by letting WO
handle tasks that would have otherwise been coded by hand, our
developers are not learning as much as they could have.
Simply put, if the D2W functionality allows us to create a block of
code that can later be manipulated without using D2W, then great. But
if any of the D2W UIs will be used in the future to update, enhance,
or troubleshoot the product, we cannot use it.
So, next idea?
I don't really get your reasoning, as when you write "if(foo > 0)
{bar();}" this by no means is the code that will be get executed by the
processor anyway - there is always some layer or another that will
transform high-level code to low-level machine language.
Perhaps you felt better if you thought of the rule system as some sort
of declarative scripting language - one way or another, you "write"
this code. Just like in WOBuilder that lets you "write" page layout
code, with conditionals, loops and subcomponents.
The whole idea behind the tools is that you don't get to write boring,
repetitive stuff - in the case of D2W, layout- and attribute-level
handling code.
But if you don't want to use it then by all means don't:)
