Source Cutter is an extensible, template based source code generator for VB.Net, C#, and Java. Source Cutter encourages the use of architecturally sound, object-oriented design principals for the generated source code. Using metadata obtained from any major database (SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, etc.), Source Cutter can build fully functional Web or Windows based solutions in minutes.

The output of Source Cutter is fully functional source code. So any developer can directly modify or build upon the source code directly to make simple one time changes or enhancements. Source Cutter also provides template based extensibility. By modifying our existing templates or creating your own templates you can alter the source code generated by Source Cutter. The mark up language used by the templates is very similar to ASP or JSP based scripting, and can be learned quickly by any developer with experience in either of the technologies.

Features are:

Source Cutter provides several versions depending upon your specific development programming language and platform needs. Different combinations of feature sets are available for purchase. The following primary features are available in Source Cutter:

- Source Cutter works with all major databases (SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, 

              MySQL, Access, etc.)

Technical Benefits:

General Technical Benefits: No matter what your skill level or experience, Source Cutter provides tremendous time savings on the development of projects. Source Cutter generates all necessary code from database interactivity in the data access layer to the layout and validation of data in the presentation layer via web pages using ASP.Net or  JSP; or via Windows Forms using VB.Net, C# or Java. Additionally for portions of functionality that do not require a user interface, Source Cutter can be used to create your data access layer by providing simple to use Object to Relational Mapping functionality.

Business Benefits:

Cost Cutting:              

   Imagine if you could reduce the development cost of all projects in both time and                 dollars by 40% - 50%. This would allow you to undertake (and complete) more projects with the same resources due to the increased productivity gains of your development staff. Also by reducing the cost of projects, the business case for additional projects will likely become viable. Many companies use some form of a return on investment (ROI) calculation to determine if a project satisfies a minimal business value. With increased productivity, the development and investment costs are correspondingly reduced, thus more projects will be able to meet the ROI requirements.  

General Business Benefits:

  One of the most important issues to any business, private or public, is how to maximize wealth for its shareholders. One of the greatest ways to increase long term profits, and hence wealth, is through innovation and the use of improved technology. While Source Cutter in itself is an innovative product, the real value to a company will come from the internal software developer productivity gains, which will allow the IT staff to create more projects at a lower cost.
