LightSwitch
Visual Studio LightSwitch is a remarkable new database development tool from Microsoft. Creating a database
using LightSwitch is fast and easy, and LightSwitch
can be used by programmers and non-programmers alike. It offers some powerful advantages, including:
- Efficiency - projects are typically completed faster
than using traditional tools like Access.
- Web compatibility - LightSwitch databases can run in all major browsers including
Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
- Extensibility - because LightSwitch is based on the .NET framework, it is
easy to include advanced feature extensions as part of your database project
- Attractive Appearance - The look and feel of a LightSwitch application is controlled by the
application theme. Themes can easily
be changed, and there are a number of themes available with more being created
every day by the LightSwitch programming community
PJPM has been working with several clients on LightSwitch projects starting in the spring of 2011,
when LightSwitch was still in Beta release. These projects moved from pilot to full production
status quickly as the benefits of development with LightSwitch became apparent. Wondering what
