Thanx Frank, got it. Some years ago, a bunch of hp managers was trying to sell me (actually it was red bull, but i was in lead for the project) tons of man-days arguing, that with _their_ development process, they called RAD, and which is much better then RUP or XP, they can deliver much better software in shorter time and so on... So I was quite confused reading RAD again :-)
Thanx Leon P.S. Btw, you could have written the german definition for RAD in wikipedia, it matches your explanation exactly. P.P.S. Hmm my website generator is also a RAD tool then? :-) > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Frank W. Zammetti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 5.
