Hydro4GE is an online, Fourth Generation Environment (4GE) for software development that automatically generates whole software systems from high-level requirement specifications. Hydro4GE has been designed from the ground up to allow programmers to focus on an application’s data model and its users’ needs. This revolutionary tool empowers programmers with enormous productivity gains and provides relief from the tedious everyday tasks associated with database application programming.
System maintenance with Hydro4GE is a breeze. Thanks to separate development and production environments, you can test radical changes to your data model without disturbing your production system. When you’re ready to merge your changes into production, the Hydro4GE Schema Evolution Language (SEL) will automatically bring your production database schema up-to-date while preserving your data.
Check back often as we will be expanding on not only this initiative but the impact we will have on the software development community.

Sounds very very interesting. A tool like this would lay the framework for proper software development and would help to avoid scope creep. I can’t wait to try it out!
