Course Objectives	The objective of this course is to teach the students the art of user interface design and visual programming by using an industry standard RAD tool. It introduces students to developing applications in high productivity development environments and exemplifies the feature set and support tools of such environments by exposing the student to one exemplar in depth and then requiring them to develop a software artifact using the toolset. A particular RAD tool will be chosen by the instructor.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Recognize the RAD concept in using components Identify the importance of the related technologies Explain Client/Server Application building Employ RAD tools Differentiate between Object Oriented languages and Object Based languages State how web services are built and used
Course Content	Overview of the base language of a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool; object definitions, methods, properties and inheritance; form design using visual components; application development using the libraries of an industry standard RAD tool.
