Code generation: Good, bad or ugly
Submitted by Sean Gates on Fri 14/05/2010
I have just completed an evaluation of a .NET tool. This was planned to be a review of the tool in question but I have managed to get sidetracked by what is one of the biggest debates amongst software developers. After all real developers write code – they don’t generate it. Some take this to the extreme and won’t even use third party tools or components; after all we are paid to develop software why should we pay to use someone else’s.
