Rapid Application Development Tools used in JAVA Programming: Introduction to JAVA

To write programs in java, programmer have to know about RAD tools, which is essential topic in the java programming. RAD tools are also helpful in development of large application with a little bit support of JVM.

Rapid development of an application is possible through Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools. The RAD tools are the tools that enable one to create applications in shorter time as compared to conventional language. A range of application can be created with RAD tools. Through RAD tools, you can not only develop a small utility program, but also a large enterprise system or large distributed applications.

In fact, NetBeans IDE offers a RAD style of developing applications for Windows programmers. With NetBeans IDE, you can develop applications just by creating frames, dragging and dropping controls on to frames, setting properties for various things, adding some application-specific code to handle events and that is it? But this simple graphical, form-based approach can create wonderful applications.

Rapid Application Development (RAD) describes a method of developing software through the use of pre-programmed tools or wizards. The pre-programed tools or controls are simply dropped on a screen to visually design the interface of application.    

While developing large application, the RAD tools are used to create prototypes of a large application. A prototype is the first model that is made of something. The prototype is used as a basis for later improved model. These prototype provide the look and feel of application being developed.

There are many more RAD tools in existence that may be of desktop tools, database rad tools, cloud-based tools, cross-platform and etc. Here’re some desktop RAD tools:

  • Accelerator for .NET: Provides end-to-end RAD generation and other productivity frameworks for .NET, including support for MVVM and WCF.
  • Dolphin Smalltalk: is a small talk development environment for windows with advanced RAD features.
  • Microsoft Visual Basic: developed by Microsoft, provide advanced features to developer.
  • Softwell Maker: is a desktop IDE with cross-platform deployment component allowing publish application into almost JAVA enable system.

All other RAD tools are listed on Wikipedia and can be readable from different types of RAD Tools.
