I wrote about lazy form designers earlier. Those tools allowed you to create web forms easily.
Now it’s time for lazy web application developers! Wanted to build something but did not have the time or expertize to code it? Zoho Creator can do that for you!
Zoho Creator comes with templates and tools that let you easily create simple form based web applications. Like the Todo list the image shows above. It’s fairly easy to build applications, and you can be up and running with the app in a few hours. You can also host the application on your site and let Zoho do the backend processing. It’s quite neat.
Probably there will be tools soon that will just build the app by reading a specification document now 😉
Thanks to Kapil for the link.
Just 2 awesome!
Hope to make something cool for it!
I made this small timesheet app using zoho.

Will share it with the community once i tweak it a little more.It lacks some power but its damn useful.
Thanks for trying out Zoho Creator & writing about it here 🙂
Hey, thanks for the mention.
Recently, the idea of building custom business applications has become “trendy.” Virtually overnight two systems, ZoHo Creator and Coghead, have been getting a lot of attention from bloggers and the media. However, people are overlooking the most time-tested source of web-based platforms for custom-built business applications. There has been a system on the market for over 5 years successfully doing the same thing ZoHo Creator and Coghead aim to do. This system is Interneer Intellect.
Interneer Intellect holds patents protecting much of the instant application building capabilities. This fact, on top of the years of development it has already undergone, inhibits ZoHo Creator from having a hope to ever be able to compete (in my opinion).
If you are considering using ZoHo Creator or Coghead to build custom applications for your business I would suggest also looking into Interneer Intellect. All three systems offer their own unique strong points… but Interneer Intellect by far has the longest list of functions and capabilities. This in itself is reason enough to register at Interneer’s site and view the product demo and/or white papers.

The above comment about Interneer is kind of an advertisement by Steffen. I approved it just so that people coming on this post know about one more alternative. Decide on your own about what you use!
