Abstract :
Conventional wisdom holds that building high-end business applications is unavoidably difficult because applications and the technology for implementing them are complex. Empirical evidence from real projects amply reinforces this conclusion. It can be argued that spiraling technical complexity makes it difficult to focus on the application´s core business problem. Software development is gradually enabling people to express what they want from their business applications in increasingly human terms. More highly evolved development tools are one way to accelerate this trend
