I often need to make decisions based on various kinds of data and their calculation results/visualizations respectively. For simple, tabular data I usually make Excel spreadsheets, however most of the time the data is too complex for this.
A pseudo example:
The only thing you know is that you want to go on holiday this year. For this, you got a time frame of 2 weeks, and you'd like to visit 2 places at least. So there are multiple options here, like making 50/50 for each place, or 20/80. This all depends on information like: When do the flights depart? When are there hotels to stay available? How much does option 1, option 2, option 3 costs? Do you visit the places in a row, or do you head back in between?
For this, I could easily write an application. Modelling such data in a OOP language is pretty easily, however it always requires a lot of boilerplate code to wire the whole thing up, which can be very daunting.
So, are there any applications where one can create 'models' and forms for the data and easily click things together? Some kind of advanced Excel?
