What's the BEST Rapid Application Developement Programming Language/IDE in your opinion?

I saw a post where someone was asking what was the easiest language to learn programming with and saw a number of opinions.

I thought a poll would be a good way to expressing and seeing these opinions.

IDE (Intergrated Development Environment) a program that allows you to develop applications in a given language.

RAD (Rapid Application Developement) describes a programming language and an IDE in which you can very quickly and easily create an application.

BTW: My Fav RAD is Delphi

-HTML, XML is not a programming language or IDE

Feel free guys to point out anything I have stated incorrectly..... I'm humble and don't know everything

I've worked with javascript , java , vb.net, asp.net and I have to say of all the developement tools such as borlland's Jbuilder or visiual studio.net I use notepad more than anything just because its simple to work with snippets of code or almost anything. What can I say i'm a simplistic person.

I am an old C++Builder user from way back and it is still my preferred IDE. Delphi (VCL) is also easy for me (as C++Builder and Delphi share the same classes and controls, the VCL) but I don?t really care for Pascal that much.

My second choice is C#Builder (which I think is better than the Visual Studio C#./NET IDE).

Third choice is Visual C++ (MFC).

I hate working with java, mainly because its slow and looks awful.

Back in the day, Quick Basic 4.5 was about as good as it got. thumbs_up.gif
Thats what I thought until I got Visual Basic for DOS. That was hot stuff when I first used it.

I had that too. I felt it was simply too confusing. It felt so out of place at the time. I guess for me the move from simply single-user DOS interface programming using libraries was harder for me than it was for some. Programming for a Mouse needs more code. But also, some of the built in stuff, like the widgets for drive and folder selection were not as good as some of the 3rd party libraries, at least it seemed that way to me. QB 4.5 was clean and lean and fast and I guess I got used to it.

I gave up on VB for Windows after they started changing the syntax. Plus I always hated the runtime aspect of it. A true compiler is what they had in DOS and I guess it is what I expected in Windows. But hey, to each his/her own:):)

I prefer VS.NET, but you need the .NET framework, a big download if you just want to distribute a small program :(

I wish folks were not forced to use .net. It is not needed for many, many programs.

You can build non .net applications with Visual Studio .NET

    • WIFI7 Router Recommendation

      By gowtham07 · Posted

      Hey! What a difference it makes to upgrade from an old WiFi 5 router to a new one. The Asus BE88U and BE92U are both very top picks. Asus gives you more control and better firmware support than most. Netgear’s new stuff is decent, but locked down. If you need more than 4 wired ports, I’d suggest a separate 2.5G or 10G switch. It makes life easier. Synology’s UI is clean too, but they don’t have a WiFi 7 router yet. If the price isn’t a big deal, go with Asus and pair it with a switch. Let us know what you think!  
    • Microsoft explains how Xbox Ally runs a lightweight bloat-free Windows 11

      By MulletMan69 · Posted

      Honestly, I think the long-term play here is for Microsoft to ditch the idea of a traditional console entirely and just turn Xbox into a full-on operating system. They (or anyone!) could release hardware like a Mac Mini or a typical console with built-in GPU and RAM, but instead of being locked into a console ecosystem, they run the Xbox OS. It makes total sense because it pushes Game Pass, Windows, and all their other software. The handheld angle is really interesting too. You’d basically have a portable PC. Hook up a keyboard and mouse, and suddenly you can edit videos or get some real work done while on the go. Something like a prebuilt Xbox PC would be more than just a gaming box. It could be a decent little PC that people might actually upgrade with each generation. And since it’s running a PC-based OS, you’d get all the usual perks like mod support, cheaper games across different stores, and no extra charges just to plug in a webcam or other standard accessories. Plus, if they let you install the OS on your own rig, then you’ve got full upgradability too. Best bit also being Microsoft wont even need to build them anyone can and when they do Microsoft just wins. The competition is kind of stuffed. Those maybe relying on SteamOS might be ok but will still have software support issues and no Game Pass. Sony and Nintendo can’t really offer the same kind of flexibility at all not sure how they will live on. They’d struggle to match something that works as a desktop OS, console, handheld, streaming box, and media hub, all with your game library ready to go, never needing to rebuy games. Console exclusives are the only way they can live I think, but if they ever get blocked by antitrust rulings down the line, it’s game over. I'm waiting to see the bloat that's still left on these and if they let you install on a regular old PC. Fingers crossed this could be the lightweight OS we have been asking for.

      I take my Apple Watch off at night and put it on the charger when I go to bed. Then I wake up the next morning I put it back on.

      I don’t get what an ai device like a pendant does for me. As a man, I’m not wearing pendant. Then there is battery life. Battery life on my Apple Watch is horribly embarrassing. Having to charge every 36 hours is horribly inconvenient. Fitbits that hold a charge for 5-7 days are much better, so the pendant would need that level of charge. Voice is actually jarring for me. I find it inconvenient when people talk into their phones and I overhear their request. Speaker phones are fine in a closed office but not when others are around. If the device is screen less, it must either respond vocally or respond via the screen on my phone. if this another health device, does the marketplace need another?
