Programming without coding technology (review)

Review for PWCT:

Introduction

PWCT is a tool specially designed for programmers to let them create new software and program by eliminating the problems faced in coding with text-based procedural programming languages where programmer need to understand the techniques of writing program and has to write the whole code by itself like Java, Python, C, C#, C++, JavaScript etc. It's a general-purpose visual programming language having main focus on GUI ( Graphical user interface) strategy. This tool enables programmer to focus  on solving the problem rather than suffering the complexity, syntax and limitations of procedural programming languages  as it made the process of error debugging of a program an easy approach for both beginners who need to understand the basic concepts of programming as well as for professional and mainstream programmers who need to create expert systems and software.

PWCT Features

1. General purpose visual programming

            It is enhanced with the feature of Visual programming as programs can be written in more than one dimension. Programming is done in PWCT using Graphical User Interface.  Using of Step colors is another added feature of PWCT There is no need to worry about any sort of syntax errors as programming is followed by steps and procedures instead of writing codes.

2. Practical Editor

            PWCT does not follow drag and drop method while it provides a new method based on Automatic Steps Tree Generation also called Dynamic generation.  It provides the keyboard shortcuts to accomplish the lengthy tasks with shortcut method approach. Customization of the program according to the requirement of the programmer is another added benefit of this tool. General editing like cut copy paste replace and search of minute parts of the whole program is easily adaptable here. Free editor and VPL Compiler is the mainstream of this visual programming tool.

3. Programming Paradigm

            PWCT do not force to follow a  programming paradigm as it's the specification of the user itself whether he wants to follow the methodology of programming concept or simply want to do programming using GUI. It supports Imperative Programming in which the program itself describes the sequence of steps which can change the state of the computer system. It also enables beginners to understand the logic of programming and coding by following the techniques of a Procedural, object-oriented and Event-driven programming language as  C, C#, Harbour, and python are also integrated into PWCT.

4. Supernova Programming

            PWCT also created a new programming language and proved that this technology is unbeatable and productive. This language is called the Supernova programming language. It is an open source programming language hosted on many of the websites including  Sourceforge.

5. Programming Scope

            It is general-purpose programming language used to create large-scale Applications and systems. It has the functions of both, low level as well as high-level programming language.

6. Operating System

It works efficiently on all Microsoft Windows however also works fine on Linux by using Wine. It is used to Create Windows applications also used to create Multiplatform Applications.

Pros and Cons of PWCT

Pros:

·         It uses Graphical user interface which is more attractive and easy to handle for programmers.

·         It reduced the complexity of programmers by eliminating the toughest part of programming i.e. following the procedural language.

·         Its Colorful representation of codes helps programmers to nominate and point out different segments and parts of program wisely.

·         Its major contribution is Supernova language which helped IT industry a lot.

·         Some procedural, as well as OO languages, are also embedded in PWCT for beginners to understand the logic and techniques of basic coding.

·         Debugging of a program is an easy task in PWCT.

Cons:

·         It is a dynamic language which is more suitable for prototyping and rapid development while it is not suitable for very large programming projects where static languages are required along with the identification of bugs on early stages.

·         It lags the new programmers to understand the basic syntax and techniques of procedural languages while enabling them to work directly on visual programming.

 

Conclusion

            PWTC is an awesome replacement for other programming languages as it provides a wide range of features which assists programmers to create software with a better approach, creativity, and flexibility in the limited time span. This program has its own built-in tutorial segment to increase the understanding programming approach of the user over the tool. The goal of PWTC is to enable developers to have a quick access to GUI by overcoming all the obstacles and hurdles faced while handling Procedural, sequential and structural programming languages. The overall contribution of PWTC towards the sustainable development of IT field is trustworthy.
