Bond 2 is a rapid application development (RAD) program that allows you to create network database programs quickly and easily. With this new version comes major updates in Bond2 XML format, and a move away from the use of c code completely! This means you can create powerful database programs quickly, only requiring knowledge of XML and SQL.
Bond 2.0.0 pre-release is out!This new version of bond changes completely the way things are done. An bond xml file is used to describe how the user interface and database abstraction is created. At the moment this has to be done by hand. In the future it will be generated from your database and glade file. I hope to be able to template this file from glade2 files by the 2.2 release. It does take a while to generate the xml files by hand at the moment for large applications but I am focusing on funcationality and stablity, not rapid development. Once I can build a large scale (ie 1/2 mil records) application from the ground up in bond I'll work on getting those auto majic stuff happening in regard to generating bond xml files from glade files and database. 0.4.x versions will be continued to be maintained, and is often referred to in the documenation.
