Programming is the process of fabricating a software product. This can only happen after a full and concerted period of analysis and design. The design stage will have resulted in a user interfaced specification allowing programmers and web designers to start immediately on the application’s front end. With this task underway, the job of creating the backend database engine and business objects can begin. The database, invariably Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL, will have its schema created from the data model. The business logic is then created by programming the database and by creating business objects. The majority of business logic will be programmed into the database providing a high performance, easily maintainable and industry standard solution. For more specific tasks, business logic may be added to custom business objects. These may be in the form of Web Services, DLL’s, custom controls, Add-ins, Active X components, or com objects. The output from the Programming stage is a piece of software or suite of software components.
