Abstract

Traditionally, application development has been an activity performed by computer programmers with the goal of producing computer programs which satisfy the intent of the application specialists. Since both programmer and application specialist make use of the computer, each can be viewed as a user where the application of the programmer is the development of a computer program.

It will be shown that the enduser requirements for an application development environment are those of the programmer and the user of application programs. APL provides the basis for an application development environment for endusers. An experimental system will be described which realizes such an environment (1).
