What reason makes WebDNA a must for a developer?

The number one reason is development time...

numero = 165
interpreted = N
texte = I have spent hundreds of hours trying to duplicate simple functionality of WebDNA in PHP. I have a library of some functions and classes (including a shopping cart that I have about 300 hours in, and it still doesn't do everything as easily as WebDNA). I have spent easily three times as long on a PHP site than a WebDNA site. Code takes time to write and test. More code takes more time. The hard part has already been done in WebDNA, the functions are simple and easy to use. There are no huge libraries of functions and classes to do fancy things because there doesn't need to be. There is no huge collection of classes for connecting to a database and pulling out information... it's built in. The database administrator is built in. While we're on the subject of databases... it's text. Need to manually update a record while you're testing? Would you rather load up phpMyAdmin, do some command line SQL, or open the database in a text editor? To address the learning curve... If you know PHP, WebDNA is a breeze to learn. Most developers worth their salt know multiple languages anyway, so learning a new one is a breeze. I learned the basics of WebDNA in two weeks. WebDNA programing is fast. You end up spending less time doing the same tasks. It's about efficiency. I have spent hundreds of hours trying to duplicate simple functionality of WebDNA in PHP.
