WinDev is an integrated development environment, first published by PC SOFT in 1993, which allows programmers to create application based on a run-time engine (framework). An integrated development environment (IDE), also known as integrated design environment and integrated debugging environment, is a programming environment that has been packaged as an application program,that assists computer programmers in developing software. ...

WinDev uses its own fifth-generation programming language, WLanguage (this may be written either in French words or in English Words). The tools enables you to predetermine a set of your own standard forms and algorithms that can be used in an automated fashion to quickly generate applications (RAD). The source code is precompiled and interpreted at run time like Visual Basic, Java or C#. This makes the executable program independent from the operating system and allows dynamic compilation as well as instant testing during development. WinDev was originally conceived as a CASE tool for writing Windows applications but now WinDev applications can also be targeted to run on Linux. A fifth-generation programming language (abbreviated 5GL) is a programming language based around solving problems using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm written by a programmer. ...

WinDev is a development environment aimed at quickly developing data-centric applications. Its integrated set of editors makes it very easy and quick to develop prototypes that can then be converted into full-fledged applications. WinDev can generate applications in Java along with standard applications or applications for the .NET platform. It supports procedural as well as object-oriented programming paradigms. Microsoft . ... This article is about the computer programming paradigm. ... Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses objects and their interactions to design applications and computer programs. ...

Its companion products, WebDev and WinDev Mobile, share the same concepts as well as the same programming language (WLanguage). They respectively are used for building web sites and applications for mobile devices (Smartphones, Pocket PC, industrial devices, etc.) The same source code can be used to build applications that will run on different platforms. WinDev also offers a number of control centers where developers can manage source code (check-in/checkout, versioning), track bugs, set QA tests, and so on. WinDev comes with its own integrated DBMS, Hyper File, but also supports most commercial databases through ODBC, OLE DB or native access. Revision control is an aspect of documentation control wherein changes to documents are identified by incrementing an associated number or letter code, termed the revision level, or simply revision. It has been a standard practice in the maintenance of engineering drawings for as long as the generation of such drawings... Quality assurance (QA) is the activity of providing evidence needed to establish confidence among all concerned, that quality-related activities are being performed effectively. ... A database management system (DBMS) is a computer program (or more typically, a suite of them) designed to manage a database, a large set of structured data, and run operations on the data requested by numerous users. ... Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard software API for connecting to database management systems (DBMS). ... OLE DB (Object Linking and Embedding, Database, sometimes written as OLEDB or OLE-DB) is an API designed by Microsoft for accessing different types of data stores in a uniform manner. ...
