Iron Speed Designer Review
23 October 2008
Iron Speed Designer is a great tool for web application developer. It's a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool developed by Iron Speed Inc. Iron Speed Designer has immense breadth and depth of coverage and details.Someone who is already familiar with developing web apps in .NET and who is solid on OOP will pick this tool up quickly. It is straight forward to add custom code that is saved even though you keep rebuild the app by means of overriding existing methods or handling events. Understanding the page lifecycle in .NET will help you make the right customization in the right override. Again, this is straight .NET for the most part.
The key benefits of Iron Speed:
- Can generate database and reporting applications for .NET in minutes.
- Quickly create visually stunning.
- Feature-rich Web 2.0 applications that are easy to customize and ready to deploy.
You enjoy unrestricted access to 100% of the code, and there are no run-time license fees or special server software requirements for applications built with Iron Speed Designer.
Advanced Web Application Features
Iron Speed Designer generates complete, professional-looking .NET Web applications with all the user interface features you expect in custom hand-coded applications, but without the extra hand-coding.
Easy-to-Customize Applications
Iron Speed Designer eliminates routine infrastructure programming, freeing you to focus on your business logic. You can customize every aspect of your application, from its visual style to the underlying code. Applications have a straightforward class hierarchy that makes it easy to extend and preserve your code modifications.

I wanted to share with you how Iron Speed Designer stacks up as a rapid application code generator in real world applications. We have been commercially using Iron Speed for over 4 years and have created applications ranging in size from a just a handful of pages that we can produce in well less than a day right up to sophisticated large financial applications that would have taken a bigger team 3 or 4 times as long.
Need some big names? Our NY based office has created Iron Speed applications for the US Coastguard, Intel and ViroPharma amongst others.
We aren’t into back slapping for the sake of it – our business relies on it and our clients want products in less time and less money. Lets face it, the word economy is nose diving and companies are looking to save on their IT costs and are seriously thinking of outsourcing their software development.
We want to save time and money so whenever we start a new project my first question is "Can we use Iron Speed for this?" Invariably the answer is yes!
I am MVP for an Iron Speed MVP Consulting Organisation, and as the owner of Light Speed IT Solutions devote many hours to evangelising the product and building my business around it – so much so that 70% of web application project work we undertake is based on Iron Speed. We use Iron Speed because we believe in it, it works and our clients love it.
We are currently blogging our experiences, the ups and downs, the easy, and the tough, tips and tricks of using Iron Speed V6 in building a real world application, http://www.lightspeeditsolutions.co.uk/ironspeed/blogs
