Review of CodeAssist

Whilst I do have a couple o' small grumblings about CodeAssist, I'm just being a picky old prune. It's fair to call this the best code generator I've seen so far. And trust me, I've seen most of 'em.

<Karl's wallet knowingly groans>

Smart and easy-to-use, this product generates high-quality code and bundles with an extensive range of templates. And at #90, it doesn't break the bank for enterprise development.

Although the task of creating your own templates is available, the burden of having to learn a little extra syntax will probably deter most developers... but the option is there nevertheless.

And to answer my original question; yes, this product certainly is different from the rest. It blasts numerous low-quality competitors right out the skies.

Although such data access code isn't everyone's cup of tea, it does have a market—and CodeAssist meets the demand well. An excellent addition to any self-respecting geek's toolbox.

Erm, so long as you're not using Access 2000 databases.
