PlatformIO

Professional collaborative platform for embedded development. PlatformIO is a next-generation, collaborative platform for embedded development that enables customers to save resources and time by vastly reducing the expenses and labor associated with creating and maintaining product software. We believe the embedded systems industry desperately needs reinvention. Not only are the IDEs and tools built with technology from the 1990s, but they involve many complex requirements and platform-dependent configurations that turn away talented developers from becoming embedded engineers. The most loved IDE solution for Microsoft Visual Studio Code. A user-friendly and extensible integrated development environment with a set of professional development instruments, providing modern and powerful features to speed up yet simplify the creation and delivery of embedded products. PlatformIO is written in pure Python and doesn't depend on any additional libraries/tools from an operation system.

TierDeveloper

AlachiSoft

TierDeveloper is an object relational mapping code generator for .NET. It lets you map business and data objects to your relational tables, embed SQL and stored procedure calls in them, and generate fully working code in C# or VB.NET. This lets you achieve in days what would otherwise take you weeks and months. And, it also improves your code quality by generating standardized code for the entire application and even across projects. Traditionally, TierDeveloper has focused on generating business and data objects for your application and you have had to develop GUI by hand and call the objects from it. The reason was that GUI by nature is very customized and therefore not a good candidate for simple code generation. However, .NET 2.0 now provides a Custom Controls Framework that makes it practical for rapid GUI development. TierDeveloper uses this framework to let you quickly design and develop your GUI and connect it with the generated business and data objects.

Client UI events are sent back to the server using SignalR - a real-time messaging framework. Once execution completes, the required UI changes are sent to the client and merged into the DOM.
