Database Service for the Masses

Posted by: Jeff VanDrimmelen In: Teacher Tools| Tech Stuff

There are a lot of cool things you can do with databases!  Almost all of our modern webpages use some sort of database backened, and pretty much all good applications need one of some type or another.  Just like the WYSIWIG editor brought HTML editing to the masses, perhaps some tools of the future will bring database creation to the masses. :)

This morning I came across this article on TechCrunch about a new startup called LongJump that helps businesses create their own databases.  It is focused more on businesses and costs money, but it is a start…

What do you think?  Could you see database creation in 10 years on the scale we see people posting on blogs nowadays?  People creating their own powerful database driven applications?
