The Project EndUser 4gl

1)   The objective of the project

2)   Principles and Assets

3)   The sponsoring research

 1)The objective of the project :

*  To sell a 4th generation language entirely dedicated  to the end-users, first of all to  data processing non-specialists, under the form of high level applicative  functions.  

*  To interest the data processing specialists so that they take part to the product evolution,while enabling them to insert their own developments.  

2.1) Principles and assets :

Today and tomorrow even more, we know that the users will be more and  more interested in programming

tools and in the use of applicative functions.  

What thay are seeking :  

SIMPLE in its installation  

SIMPLE in its training

SIMPLE to handle:  To use the standard Tools of Windows accessible to everyone :  

Notepad.exe or write.exe to create the source program

To explore the execution of the program

EFFICIENT toward the aimed goal

Starting from these principles, after studing the  program languages, the diagnoses are that the programming

languages are rather complex to learn, heavy in their installation, aso... and thus dedicated to extremely

trained  users, aso

We think that it is still possible to optimize a programming language while  keeping a maximum of

functionalities.  In other words, why to complicate when one can make simple?  

We created a programming language which respects the above principles, while adding to it high level

functions, abstraction functions going to essential

2.2) Assets :

For the users

"" Pocket Program " EndUser4gl.exe, small program within a small space, that travels on a

diskette or via Internet and that does a lot of things (Windows,  carryforward, classifying, sql, query..)  with

little effort, and cheap for data processing non-specialists.  

The distribution of EndUser4gl.exe program can be done in the  form of acquisition:  

To buy only one or several functionality applicatives

To rent only one functionality or several applicative functions  

To buy the whole product

 For the specialists :

New Idea :

It is the most innovative idea of ENDUSER4GL:.  

NOWADAYS, THERE IS NO OFFER ON THE MARKET PROPOSING THE POSSIBILITY TO

TAKE PART DIRECTLY TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE CORE OF A 4TH GENERATION

DATA-PROCESSING LANGUAGE

The Innovation :   They will be able to take part to the evolution of the Enduser4gl language

while directly creating their instructions within the NATIVE C/C++ Enduser4gl language.  

ENDUSER4GL relies on the most widespread compiler:  VISUAL C++ 6.0 of Microsoft   

This Microsoft compiler posesses enormous possibilities and WINDOWS functions, SQL,

Internet, MFC classes

 Control ActiveX, DHTML, XML, completely able to be included into the ENDUSER4GL

product.

 The world population of data processing specialists and data processing schools having the knowledge of this  Visual C++i compiler is enormous.  Which means that if ENDUSER4GL interests these informed populations, many new functionalities could be included within the ENDUSER4GL product and thus interest the end-users and non-specialists anew.  

 It is the creation of a huge NEVER ENDING SPIRAL.

This language will evolve through the contribution of these new external functionalities.  

In other words, Enduser4gl will  be OPEN towards the outside world and its growing  will depend on it.  The

programming tools of ENDUSER4GL to achieve these goals are existing.   

To deliver the programming tools, simple with employment,  allowing a data processing

specialist to take part in the development  of EndUser4gl .

It is true that too many functions are individually developed, whatever their  theme may be (Sql, Internet,

Windows, aso.).

We are proposing to unify the source codes of our data processing  specialists via the installation of new

instructions within the EndUser4gl compiler. Thus each data  processing specialist will

be able to identify himself with this evolution of the EndUser4gl language, introduce himself, aso.

Of course, the addition of external functionalities will have to be  analyzed if they seem to be of interest, the

n centralized within the language.  

Afterwards we will see to the principles of remunerations of the data processing  specialist:  Royalties,

publicity or else Internet, networks,HTML.  Everything is thinkable.  

Without mentioning the derived products and gains :  training,  press,  Internet gate, aso.

We deliver EndUser4gl.lib and the endUser4gl.dsw project of  Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.  

All the data processing specialists can concretely BE PART of the  EndUser4gl project.  See the loading options Level 3 - 4gl -.

It is now a open door to all the future developments that  EndUser4gl is lacking :  CGI, HTML, XML,et many others.  

3) Research of sponsor

EndUser4gl is a project, a prototype.  

It is clear that I built the first "corner stones" of the project. If I want it to grow, it must reach a superior stage

* to create of a team, a structure which can help me to achieve the goals  of the EndUser4gl project.  

Not having any geographical or country a priori  for the  construction of this  project. So, if sponsors are interseted in this project, they may contact me and I will send them the financing plan :
