Clarion is a software development tool to help you get your business applications completed up to 10 times faster. Clarion features a Template driven Code Generator that automates the creation of complete Database Applications. Clarion features roundtrip Code Generation, which means that it preserves all of your hand-written code while still allowing you to make changes and re-generate your application, or any part of your application, as often as needed. Clarion can help you create higher-quality, more consistent database applications in less time.

At the core of the Clarion IDE is the Data Dictionary -- a metadata repository which stores Table definitions, business rules, attributes for defaults on how columns should be displayed on Windows and Reports, and user defined options.

There are several usefull resources for Clarion developers available, of which most are free.
