Most of *special purpose software* can be used directly without reading documenation, because we know the job and we expect how it will be done.Roberto Lopez wrote: Yes... I've was interested... I've downloaded it some time ago and attempted to do something (without read any docs ) and I've failed.
For example, using a *word processor program* is easy without reading documentation because we know the job (writing a document) and we expect how it will be done (writing the document directly in an empty space).
With respect to *General purpose software* we need at least reading some documentation so we can know how to do what we are looking to do.
For example, when you open *Visual FoxPro* you will find the command window (Like the dot prompt in DBASE III+) , here and at the start, you will find the command window is useless if you don't know at least one visual foxpro command.
PWCT is a *General purpose software* which can be used as
[1] Programming without coding tool
[2] HMG IDE (with coding and/or without coding)
The are a little concepts which are necessary to use PWCTRoberto Lopez wrote: In my humble opinion, the goal of create applications without coding is good, but, if the user is required to learn lots of new concepts that are not natural or common sense ones, the tool will be not useful.
These concept are :-
A Server replace the project file
A resistance replace the function/procedure
A goal designer replace the the code editor
A goal replace source code file
A Step replace block of code
A Transporter replace Wizards & Code Generation tools
Interaction using Transporter replace writing code
And most of the other PWCT concepts is not more than features (You learn it if and only if you need it).
For example, i am a *word processor* user, i just use 20% of it's features And i learn somthing new when
1 - I Need it or
2 - I have some time and i like to learn
PWCT is a *General purpose software* which can be used asRoberto Lopez wrote: Moreover, the item '2' of your response states:
"[ Programming With Coding Layer ( HarbourMiniGUI Extended) ]"
So, only for forum users clarification... the "IDE for HMG" in your original message is not correct.
The users must be noticed about that.
[1] Programming without coding tool
[2] HMG IDE (with coding and/or without coding)
So I am sure about using PWCT as HMG IDE
This is one of the main PWCT goals from three years ago, when i started the PWCT project.
PWCT provide HMG developer with the features expected from an IDE
1 - PWCT Enable the developer to write Harbour/xHarbour & HMG code without restrictions at all.
2 - PWCT Enable the developer to Create, Build & Run Console, GUI & Mixed mode applications
3 - PWCT Enable the developer to use the Goal Designer & the Form Designer while developing a HMG application.
4 - PWCT generate HMG code
I need your help to understand the problem you have while installing PWCT, I need to know what is the error message ? , and what is the windows version under usage ?.jortega wrote: I meant that can not be installed
