Why did I fail with the online code-generation services – Advise(II): Don’t sell to developers
(cross-posted from the “Stories of a (failed) entrepreneur” blog) This is the second in a series of posts trying to explain what I think went wrong with my attempt of selling online code-generation services, that I end up giving up for free due to the lack of clients.

From UML models to AJAX Java EE code in OpenXava with MOSKitt
Following my own “Pareto principle (or 80/20 rule) for MDD” I´ve always defended the idea that MDD tools should not (and don’t need to) ask developers to draw too many models. In fact, to generate most of the software, a simple class diagram is enough (this is the main principle behind the free code-generation services
