Billy Hollis, Microsoft MVP

 

“Before we had DevForce we had to think about writing code to fetch and save the data; now we can focus specifically on our client’s business problem, not the data mechanism. This project has been a great success!”
 
John Hamilton, Development Manager, Casco

“With DevForce as the catalyst…developers will be more productive, resulting in reduced development costs
and accelerated time to market.”

“We see DevForce as THE source for “best practices” when it comes to .NET development of database apps. The tool itself requires you to design your app using these best practices, and the code that you produce is “best practice” code without the developer consciously thinking about doing it that way."
 
Joey Gurango, CEO Gurango Software
