Project called End Users Shaping Effective Software, or EUSES -- to make computers friendlier for everyday users by changing everything from how they look to how they act.

See discussion of levels of abstraction in the book Wicked Problems; notice that the assembly programming is still alive and well for low-end mobile phone developers.
Making Good Use of Wikis Sure, it sounds like a childs toy. But a special type of wiki, from JotSpot, can actually take the
place of a database application. I spent some time with it recently, and it felt like seeing the first version of dBase all over again. Its rough--but you can create some nifty little applications with
e-mail integration pretty quickly. Check out

of software. However, I am not aware that the arrival of Home Depot spelled the end of the civil engineering profession, as some commentators see it for professional software developers. As

less ---- By John K. Waters Rod Smith, IBMs VP of Internet emerging technologies, chuckles at the phrase end-user
programming, a term he says has been overhyped and overpromised. And yet, IBMs new PHP- based QEDWiki project quick and easily done wiki is focused on that very concept.
QEDWiki is an IDE and framework designed to allow non-technical end users to develop so- called situational apps in less than five minutes. http:www.adtmag.comarticle.aspx?id=18460
