[TYPO3-dev] DB app builder

[Tim Wentzlau]

Hi list

I have released a new extension DB App Builder (auxdataviewer) that 
extents the kickstarter with the possibilities to define data views as 
db grids and forms. The defined views are rendered with a FE plug-in 
Data Viewer (a part of the extension). Grids could have master/slave 
relations as known from languages like Delphi, VB .Net.

My design goals have been to build a RAD tool that makes it easy and 
fast create DB applications in T3 without being forced to code in PHP 
every time. But allow for extension of functionality by coding PHP.

I first made the extension as proof of concept and in this first release 
I have separated the code into classes but the extension could certainly 
benefit from further refactoring I my self have spotted several patterns.

I release the extension now in order to get input from the community 
before i continue the development. Especially I would like to know how 
my work fit with other projects that are in progress or planned.
