In the hunt for solutions to the skills crisis, end user-driven development (EUDD) is something that the UK IT industry needs to get behind (Super users replace programmers).

While many IT seniors will quote the failure of 4GLs, it should be recognised that specialised EUDD tools are rife, and many users not even aware they are using EUDD. A good example is Excel, another is Web 2.0 sites such as Bebo. EUDD is here, make the most of it now.
