Programming is giving instructions to computer to perform the required
job, the process of programming have more than one stage from analysis
and design to implementation and test.
The most common way to do programming is (writing code) which our
compiler under usage can understand based on the syntax of the
programming language.
To write code you need software called a Code Editor (CE), which Enable
the programmer to organize his/her source code file, Modern Code
Editors comes with nice features like (Auto completion, Syntax
highlighting & IntelliSense) which enable the programmer to
work more easier and faster.
Since coding requires from the programmer the attention and effort, a
lot of researchers focus on this point, some researches work
on making coding less harmful while other
researchers try to eliminate and reduce the necessary and the need of
coding which we say about (Programming without coding)
- There are a lot of steps
towards (Programming without coding), the first step was (Copy
& Paste) operations where the programmer write the code one
time then copy it and use it another time in another program, and this
without doubt is very bad solution and seems to be the heart of
problems.
- The second step was the
(Code Bank) where the programmer stores his common code in one place to
get it quickly and still do (Copy & Paste) Operations.
- The third step was the
(Library) where a one or more of functions are encapsulated together
and are available for use directly by the programmer after referring to
the library header file in the source code and referring to the path of
the library file for usage by the linker to produce
executable file.
- The forth step was the
(Template) which is a mask of code, which can be used more than one
time.
- The fifth step was the (Code
Generator) which uses (Templates) and get data from the programmer to
generate the code automatically.
- The Sixth step was the
(Designers) like (Database designer, Class Designer, Form Designer,
Menu Designer, Report Designer,…etc)
- The seventh step was the
(Wizard) which is a group of interaction pages that end up with
generating designer files and source code.
In these days the (IDE and Frameworks) are used to integrate Libraries,
Templates, Code Generators, Wizards and Designers together.
But still the Programmer/Developer needs to write code to complete his
task (the required job).
Programming without coding technology presents the first general
purpose programming without coding language (Mahmoud), programming
without coding environment (RPWI) and programming paradigm (DoubleS =
Super Server) for developing software applications 100% without coding
by providing full isolation from the programming language syntax where
the programming effort done through interaction instead of writing code
and (You need to know procedure instead of being declarative).
