Creating an application using the RAD methodology

Overview

The RAD (Rapid Application Development) is a technology used to easily create a full application (or site).

The RAD is based on preset programming patterns used to generate the requested application. You also have the ability to create your own "patterns" to generate a custom application automatically: you choose the code to generate as well as the positioning of controls.

The RAD can be started as follows: on the "Project" tab, in the "Generation" group, click "Full Application RAD". Once the pattern is chosen, simply follow the different steps of the wizard.
