Rapid prototyping using visual programming tools

Commercirdly available visual programming tools offer an easily-learned and efficient means for the production of custom software — perhaps for a dissertation project, a deployable prototype for user testing, or even just a quick test of a new idea. This CHI tutorial provided an in-depth examination of two of these tools, Novell’s AppWare and Pictorius’ Prograph CPX, as well as an introduction to the area of visual programming.
