Summary
Introduction
Programming is giving instructions to
computer to perform the required job, the
process of programming have more than
one stage from analysis and design to
implementation and test.
The most common way to do programming
is (writing code) which our compiler under
usage can understand based on the syntax
of the programming language.
Introduction
To write code you need software called a
Code Editor (CE), which Enable the
programmer to organize his/her source
code file, Modern Code Editors comes with
nice features like (Auto completion, Syntax
highlighting & IntelliSense) which enable
the programmer to work more easier and
faster.
Since coding requires from the programmer
the attention and effort, a lot of researchers
focus on this point, some researches work
on making coding less harmful while other
researchers try to eliminate and reduce the
necessary and the need of coding which we
say about (Programming without coding)
Introduction
There are a lot of steps towards
(Programming without coding), the first step
was (Copy & Paste) operations where the
programmer write the code one time then
copy it and use it another time in another
program, and this without doubt is very bad
solution and seems to be the heart of
problems
The second step was the (Code Bank) where
the programmer store his common code in
one place to get it quickly and still do (Copy
& Paste) Operations.
Introduction
The third step was the (Library) where a one
or more of functions are encapsulated
together and are available for use directly
by the programmer after referring to the
library header file in the source code and
referring to the path of the library file for
usage by the linker to produce executable
file.
The forth step was the (Template) which is a
mask of code, which can be used more than
one time
The fifth step was the (Code Generator)
which uses (Templates) and get data from
the programmer to generate the code
automatically.
Introduction
The Sixth step was the (Designers) like
(Database designer, Class Designer, Form
Designer, Menu Designer, Report
Designer,…etc)
The seventh step was the (Wizard) which is
a group of interaction pages that end up
with generating designer files and source
code.
In these days the (IDE and Frameworks) are
used to integrate Libraries, Templates, Code
Generators, Wizards and Designers
together.
Programming without coding
Programming without coding technology
presents the first general purpose
programming without coding language
(Mahmoud), programming without coding
environment (RPWI) and programming
paradigm (DoubleS = Super Server) for
developing software applications 100%
without coding by providing full isolation
from the programming language syntax
where the programming effort done through
interaction instead of writing code and (You
need to know procedure instead of being
declarative).
Programming without coding
Since Programming without coding technology
change the programming world from it's heart
(The Code), it's expected form this new
technology to present something different
replace what we use while coding.

RPWI Environment
RPWI means " (R)eal (P)rogramming
(W)ithout cod(I)ng ", Where you don't need
to write code, or to study programming
language syntax because you develop your
software in RPWI Environment through
interaction, i.e. GUI instead of writing Code.
Low Level RPWI requires from the
 developer/programmer to know
programming concepts, and requires that
you understand the features and rules
presented by the programming language
under usage because the interactive
language just present GUI (in human
language) to all features available from the
programming language under usage.
RPWI Environment
Also all Components (Servers/Transporters)
available in interactive language which is
Low Level RPWI, will be like direct interface
to features available by the programming
language, so the code generated from any
component (Server/Transporter) will do a
job that may not make sense in the general
application, but only the
developer/programmer who uses the
component can understand the generated
code.
RPWI Environment
High Level RPWI doesn't require from the
developer/programmer to know
programming concepts, no need to know
the rules of the programming language
under usage, because here the interactive
language that is High Level RPWI, provides
GUI (in human language) + components
(Servers/Transporters) which generates
code which do expected job anyone can fell
with it and make a sense in the general
application under development.
The Transporter
Transporter, this name because it's used for
transporting the programming language to
RPWI Environment.
Transporter differs from the wizard and
code generators, its upgrade to them
because transporters work together in
solving the same problem which maximize
the power and free the space to an infinite
number of applications that we can develop
which provide us with unlimited and general
purpose programming environment.
Mahmoud PL
Mahmoud programming language is the
first general purpose interactive (Based on
interaction through GUI instead of writing
code) programming Language developed
and hosted in the RPWI Environment.
This language is a good example about
what we can do inside RPWI Environment,
where we can develop and use interactive
languages in a Very easy manner, so you
can develop your own programming
language That carry your name (or any
other name you like), and you can hack
Mahmoud programming language and start
doing whatever change you like to do.
Mahmoud PL
The Language provides us with great power
from the ability to develop console
applications to GUI applications and from
simple mathematics applications to
complex applications including database
applications from desktop to the network
The language power are not limited or
restricted, it’s open architecture where you
can extended the language by adding new
components using RPWI Environment
designers and/or you can use extension
components that enable you to call DLL
functions, use COM objects and/or do OLE
Automation.

Free & Open Source
Easy, Simple , Powerful and Productive
Very fun like a game
GUI between a human language and a
programming language
