Guest Post: Programming Without Coding Technology

By Community Team

Today we have a guest post from Mahmoud Fayed of the Programming Without Coding Technology project.

During the last 8 years (since Dec. 2005) we have been working on developing a General-Purpose Visual Programming Language, Our goal is to present a tool for novice programmers and expert programmers at the same time.

The project development is a based on the implementation of new research ideas and getting feedback from our users.

We created the following movie today to present some of the PWCT features and how programmers can use it to create real world applications:

We are going to release PWCT 1.9 (Art) during the next 60 days with these features.

    Very interesting. Forgive me if this is a naive question, but can the code generated by this program be parallelized?

    Hello, Mahmoud!  Trying to install this…don’t know if it will work, yet, since the install is still running.  Do you plan on releasing a version of this Supernova for RPM-based Linux distros?  Or, perhaps a 64-bit version?  Or the source-code?
     
    Thanks!

      @VirtualEntity I hope that you can Supernova, It’s tested and works fine on Ubuntu Linux & Microsoft Windows.
      Supernova is free-open source and the Windows version contains the visual source files (*.SSF) which you can open and build using PWCT.
      The Linux version also comes with the generated source code inside the debian package
      To build from the source you will need Harbour & HbQt from https://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/ and https://sourceforge.net/projects/qtcontribs/
      For quick solution you can run PWCT on Linux using Wine then use SupernovaPWCT to develop based on Supernova
      Also you can open & build supernova from source using HarbourPWCT
