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

    • Windows 11 finally gets redesigned Start menu and more in builds 26200.5641 and 26120.4250

      By CarelessEmotion · Posted

      I see the Winblows 11 BETA testing continues. This is just Windows 10 all over again. Oh well, everything is still smooth sailing over here on Windows 10 21H2 LTSC. You unpaid sheep BETA testers be sure to let us know when you get done BETA testing Winblows 11 for the rest of us. 🤣

      What do you expect? Windows 11 is still in BETA. This is Windows 10 all over again. M$ doesn't hire people to do BETA testing anymore. They just let all the dumb sheep with FOMO do all the BETA testing for them. It's the same dumb sheep who use self-checkout at the store and do someone else's job for FREE! All while the worker who's getting paid just stands there and watches them. 🤣 🤡
    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      By Case_f · Posted

      Pet peeve: Microsoft using scaling options to get around the fact they removed font size settings, as if that's somehow acceptable to do. Thankfully third party apps still can adjust font sizes just fine, even though it often randomly resets on OS updates. And the funny thing is that not only are the scaling options horrible crutches, but they only work in some applications. And, ironically enough, even some apps from Microsoft themselves have hardcoded tiny fonts in certain dialogs in them. Example - certain parts of MS Office apps UI.
    • Unofficial script does the most useful official Windows 11/10 repairs you want automatically

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script does the most useful official Windows 11/10 repairs you want automatically by Sayan Sen IT admins and system admins, and even home users have to run various Windows diagnostic runs from time to time in order to iron out or work around system problems. Last year, Microsoft published a guidance piece about various such native Windows apps, tools and utilities they include the like of Task Manager, Registry Editor, and more. Aside from them, Windows also comes with SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) to scan and fix corrupt and missing system files. Besides those, various other ways to help and diagnose network issues related to DNS (Domain Name System), among others, also exists. In order to save time running these, a Reddit user has created a new tool that automates all of these into a single package. The author writes that the Batch script (.BAT file) they have developed is "basically a one-stop script that can help clean up your system, run built-in diagnostics, fix common network issues, and generate system reports." The script is based on native Windows tools like netsh, ipconfig, systeminfo, among others, and the idea behind this is essentially to save time. The tool can be of help with Windows Update repairs, among others, something we all know is pretty common, and even Microsoft's own support articles may not prove to be helpful. Here is everything the utility can do for you: Run SFC, DISM, CHKDSK from a single menu Restart network adapters with auto-detection Flush or set DNS (Google, Cloudflare, or custom) Windows Update repair (resets services + cache) Generate system reports (saved as .txt files on Desktop) Show installed drivers Clean up temp files Registry backup and restore (manual) The latest version of the utility is now available for download on GitHub. The new version fixes issues related to admin privileges. As the script requires it to be run as an admin, it now restart itself to work in admin mode even if a user forgot to run it as an administrator. To download it, head over to its GitHub page here. The utility is named Windows Maintenance Tool. As always, though, make sure to back up your PC as this is an unofficial third-party app, and it's better if you test it first in a VM.

    • Intel v32.0.101.6881 graphics driver fixes a popular multiplayer hero shooter

      By +Nik Louch · Posted

      Come the hell on, do we need clickbait titles? "Overwatch 2" - 11 characters "a popular multiplayer hero shooter" - 34 characters What's the purpose here - delivering news or titles for clicks? I think we all know the answer. You're straying into "Number 7 on this list will SHOCK you" territory and while it may work on some crappy sites, this is why they are crappy sites. Just tell the story! Go back and look at popular articles that made Neowin what it was. Did they have headlines of "New OS from major technology conglomerate has astonishing new feature" or is it likely to tell the story succinctly and then elaborate within the content?
