In the Information Technology industry, the need to deliver faster software applications without the loss of quality prompted the development of the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology.

The traditional software development lifecycle can on average take 20% more time than the RAD methodology. RAD has proven to be an efficient and versatile methodology which can assist a software development company with faster software application development, and at the same time, ensure that the end product is of high quality.

CodeCharge Studio is a visual RAD environment used extensively by DataX to assist in the development of web-based database driven applications. The structured object-oriented code that is generated by CodeCharge Studio can easily be maintained and extended. Any developer can easily alter the code outside of the CodeCharge Studio RAD environment, since the code generated by CodeCharge Studio is very similar to that which a human developer would code.

CodeCharge Studio is dataX's preferred visual RAD environment tool for customized software development, since it supports so many programming technologies and the code generated can be easily changed by any developer. Coupled with that, the speed and hassle free coding process makes the development of web-based database driven applications a breeze while at the same time ensuring a high quality end product.

While the coding is a very important aspect of customized application development, it is equally important to make sure that the proper database design is done to ensure it runs optimally.
