I've been an independent developer and Entrepreneur for 16+ years. The reason why I have been successful is that I can offer my clients good solutions that are delivered on time and on budget. Even better, those budgets are usually much lower than the alternative projects by large consulting shops or agencies, which means my services have been in very high demand for many years now.
And every year since I started, I have enjoyed my work and made a good living at it. Development tools like CodeSmith's Plinquo are definitely a part of the reason why I've been able to offer clients excellent value without sacrificing quality over all these years. If you are a consultant or independent developer, CodeSmith with the Plinqo framework should be a standard part of your development work flow!
Plinqo is a set of templates for CodeSmith Studio, which allow a developer to quickly generate an entire Visual Studio solution based on Microsoft's LINQ to SQL but with many enhancements added by the Plinqo framework. I could go on and on about it, but the best way to quickly show the power of this framework is very simply by showing a quick video. It took me all of 5 minutes to generate the thousands of lines of code needed to support the website you are about to see.
Is the web site project a finished website ready for production? No, of course not. But the output of the CodeSmith Plinqo framework is a very robust and complete DATA foundation upon which I can now build a solid web application - quickly and very cost effectively!
