The real reason you need to know this: Speed Designer 2 is actually a well-known development environment, but it has been discontinued for quite some time. The Speed Designer team has given up the battle. I won't say it's dead, because it's not, but it's got a much more limited scope. It's a history lesson, not a real product review.
Speed Designer, the first version of its kind, was a tough sell. It was unusual to say the least. Creating your own tool was impressive, but very few developers would pay for it. The biggest argument for Speed Designer 2 was that it was still good, better than what existed at the time. It was really the last bastion of standalone speed optimization. Speed Designer 2, however, was only available for the Windows platform. It was the version of Speed Designer that came with Visual Studio.
What you don't know about Speed Designer is that it was also a RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool. It supported UML and most commonly used languages like C# and VB. It also supported UNIX, COM, and even Cobol. It even had a RAD tool that allowed you to create your own UML diagrams. It was most notably released as a proprietary product by Borland.
The Speed Designer team was gracious enough to inform us of this fact and released a series of short video overviews of the product. I was a user, not a developer, but I thought that the info might be of value to some of you. It's been a few years now, and this is a great chance for me to give my take on what Speed Designer 2 was and was not.
What I love about Speed Designer 2 is that it was one of the first RAD tools that put a focus on getting the job done. It did not discriminate against non-industry-standard tools. With an ever-expanding list of developers creating applications that focused on more than just drawing lines and numbers, using the same development tools as everyone else was paramount. That wasn't always easy though. As a user, you didn't have to pay for software. You could download and distribute your code or run it on the computer that you used.
The benefit of being a tool that can run anywhere is a double-edged sword. It was great if you just wanted to throw something together that worked, but the problem is that the range of compatibility left you with a very limited audience. You couldn't create
