mrc Accepting Challenges to Build Web Apps Overnight
Software tool developer mrc is now accepting challenges to build custom enterprise web applications in less than 24 hours. "The 24-Hour Challenge is simple and completely free of charge," says Sal Stangarone, mrc's senior product consultant. "Anyone can challenge us to build a fully functional web application (using their own data) with m-Power in 24 hours." m-Power is a development solution used for modernization and the rapid creation of custom web applications. You can use mrc's development tool suite on any platform that supports Java, including the IBM i, Linux, UNIX, and Windows. Examples of the types of applications participants might propose for the contest include business intelligence, report writing, executive dashboards, customer portals, e-commerce, and workflow/scheduling.
The challenge stems from mrc's belief that typical enterprise web application development is time-consuming and expensive, usually requiring outside consultants or outsourcing due to a lack of staff or programming knowledge. "Enterprise application development doesn't need to be time-consuming, difficult, or expensive," says Stangarone. "Give us some sample data and 24 hours, and we'll show you."
