Más información sobre el libro

The foundational concepts for the next generation of business logic servers based on predicate logic are laid out, promising to revolutionize application development. A new technology known as business rules is set to dramatically change how we build computer applications. This approach allows for declarative application development, enabling developers to state WHAT needs to be done rather than HOW to do it. The benefits include ease and speed of initial development, simplified maintenance, platform independence, increased productivity, and enhanced business adaptability. This concise introduction is designed for both managers and technical professionals, divided into two parts. The first part provides a broad overview of business rules, while the second revisits these ideas within the context of relational technology. Key topics include presentation rules, database and application rules, building on the data model, potential advantages and disadvantages, and a fresh perspective on relational fundamentals. Overall, this resource offers a solid grounding in a transformative technology that is poised to reshape business practices in the IT sector.
