Cross-Platform 3-Tier Development

[dman]

OK, this is a blatent plug for my latest favorite code.

Anyone doing 3-tier database apps (you know, db layer, business rules layer, user interface) and wants true cross platform capabilities should try DABO. DABO is an application framework built with Python and the wxPython graphical user control set. Python is a free, powerful, easy to learn object orient language. Applications built with Python on the DABO framework can run unaltered on Windows, Linux, Unix, BSD, Mac and anything else that implements Python and wxWidgets.

The DABO application wizard and framework takes care of 80% of the development work for you. Basically the only place you need to add code is in the business tier to handle the specifics of the application, and some minor interface tweaking. The database access is all handled through the abstracted DB layer that hardly needs to be touched.

Currently DABO supports MySQL, but other DB adaptors are in progress.

If you are looking to do cross-platform db apps and don't care much for Java give DABO a try!
