Nick Perry demos Spark, Microsoft and GitHub's tool that builds complete apps from English descriptions in seconds. The generated code goes straight to GitHub with version control, and deploys with one click. Perry says it costs nearly nothing versus the $5,000 price of hiring a developer.

Never hire a developer to build your app until you see what Microsoft and GitHub just dropped. It's called Spark, and here's why it's different. You just describe what you want in plain English, like telling a friend what kind of app to make, and Spark builds the whole thing— front end, back end, database, all of it— in seconds. But the real trick is what happens after, because every change you make gets saved automatically in a GitHub repo, so you can preview, compare, or go back, uh, just like using git commit. And when you're done, you deploy with a single click. No server setup, no domain juggling. Your app is live. So while everyone else is still paying someone $5 grand to build a simple app, you just typed a sentence and shipped it. Comment Spark and I'll send you the link.
