RAD (rapid application development) proposes that products can be developed faster and of higher quality by:

• Using workshops or focus groups to gather requirements.
• Prototyping and user testing of designs.
• Re-using software components.
• Following a schedule that defers design improvements to the next product version.
• Keeping review meetings and other team communication informal.

There are commercial products that include requirements gathering tools, prototyping tools, software development environments such as those for the Java platform, groupware for communication among development members, and testing tools. RAD usually embraces object-oriented programming methodology, which inherently fosters software re-use. The most popular object-oriented programming languages, C++ and Java, are offered in visual programming packages often described as providing rapid application development.

Hi all,

It have been a long time I'm not update my website. So, here some new update and its all about the new Adobe Creative Suite 5 (CS5). Sure, there are something much better in this CS5 compare to previous CS and 5 cool thing about this CS5 was listed below. CS5 come with nearly 250 new features and a whole slew of improvements, there's just too many to highlight. So just as a teaser, The Malay Mail has picked the five coolest things about Ado­be CS5 to share:

1) Puppet Warp

Sure, you could distort objects on earlier versions of Photoshop but it's never been this easy. Puppet Warp is a new tool which allows you to quickly bend and reshape images by using "virtual push­pins" to both constrain and bend pictures in a precise and fluid fashion.

2) Content-Aware Fill

Watching this feature in action is a little unnerving yet cool at the same time. When you want to cut objects out, select Content-Aware fill and watch as Photoshop auto­matically fills the resulting space with surrounding scenery or pat­terns. What used to take hours of painstaking labour has now been reduced to mere seconds!

3) Perspective Drawing

Architects would be drooling over this one. Now users can automati­cally generate perspective grids for 1-, 2- or 3-point linear per­spectives in Illustrator, complete with controls for horizon lines and vanishing points. Artwork automatically draws in the visual dimensions set by the Perspective Grid. Talk about making life less of a headache.

4) Roto Brush

With this new tool, video editors the world over can now reclaim a hefty percentage of their time (and life) back. The Roto Brush in After Effects isolates moving foreground elements from their backgrounds in fewer steps, au­tomatically creating transparency around foreground elements.

5) Flash Catalyst

Expect an explosion in flash con­tent in the next six months as more and more people get their hands on this new offering. This will do for Flash what Dreamweaver did for HTML - make everything eas­ier. With this, you can create expres­sive interactive content without writing code.

Design layouts using Illustrator or Photoshop Extended, and then bring layered media from those components into Flash Catalyst to add interactions, video and sound using an approachable user interface.
