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

    • Microsoft to default-block more files in New Outlook and Outlook Web

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft to default-block more files in New Outlook and Outlook Web by Sayan Sen Back in 2019, Microsoft announced a big change to its list of blocked file types for attachments. At the time, Microsoft stated that it was doing so to improve security by adding "file extensions to the BlockedFileTypes property of existing OwaMailboxPolicy objects." The tech giant deems such file types as no longer secure for attachments and is a good way to protect customers from potentially malicious attacks from threat actors. Over time the company has expanded the block list for Outlook for the Web and also the New Outlook for Windows app. In a new message via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, the company has announced that two more such file types will be added. However, the tech giant feels this should not affect most users, as these "newly blocked file types are rarely used." It writes: "As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security in Outlook Web and the New Outlook for Windows, we’re updating the default list of blocked file types in OwaMailboxPolicy. Starting in early July 2025, the following file types will be added to the BlockedFileTypes list: .library-ms .search-ms" For admins, Microsoft says that no action is required if their respective organisations do not rely on the aforementioned file attachments. However, if they are still in use, then admins can "add them to the AllowedFileTypes property of your users’ OwaMailboxPolicy objects before the rollout." Speaking of which, this is set as a "major change" with the rollout expected to start in early July 2025. You can find information on how to do that in the official documentation on Microsoft's website here. For those wondering, the following file types are allowed by default: ".avi, .bmp, .doc, .docm, .docx, .gif, .jpg, .mp3, .one, .pdf, .png, .ppsm, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptm, .pptx, .pub, .rpmsg, .rtf, .tif, .tiff, .txt, .vsd, .wav, .wma, .wmv, .xls, .xlsb, .xlsm, .xlsx, .zip" You can find the list of blocked file types here on this Microsoft support article on the company's official website. If you are a system admin, you can view the message on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center under ID MC1090702.
    • TB Header / JTBT1 - MSI MAG Tomahawk

      By aclarke_31 · Posted

      Thanks Nik. This card is kinda what I'm looking for. Do you know if this connects to the motherboard via the TB Header / JTBT1 Header or if this is via the PCI Express slot? I was wondering if there was just a cable I could purchase that would give me a TB connection, since the header is already on the mainboard. Thanks
