<A HREF="oussama/patterns_and_generators.htm"></B>Patterns</B></A>,
Generators and Translators.
<BR>This is based on a Data Dictionary, for example in driving a Forms Designer.
<BR><BR>The first release is to establish credentials as Best Practice evangelists.
<BR>The second release will be Kick-Start Applications made available comemrcially.
<BR><BR>The objective is to smart small with an underlying Architecture that will grow
with you as your needs and your Application grows.</PRE>
