A Kenyan software developer has launched the world’s first graphical interface based software development kit enabling one to develop applications or softwares without writing program code.

George King’ori, a Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology
Bachelor of Science (BSc), Pure Mathematics and Computer Science graduate told TechMoran, “ Liquid Systems Technology is a software development technology that enables one to easily create any form of business management software using graphical and not programming languages.”

King’ori added that no programming or data base skills are needed to develop liquid software as it uses a Graphical Interface based developer environment.”

According to him, the technology is a combination of several platforms; (developer, cloud, user platforms) that enable one to develop ,deploy and support clients on this network.



He said that Liquid technology simulates a computer hardware environment to create and modify software at runtime using modifiable and reusable graphical resources and algorithm making software development an instant and time saving endeavor.

Tired with software development technologies that took months to deliver, King’ori said he has worked on Liquid system technology for four years and finally launched it ten days ago.

“Most clients don’t understand software modifications and several of them become negative when a project takes months to implement. The Liquid SDK will help developers serve their clients quickly and appropriately,” he said.

Business software is also costly and takes time to develop, King’ori therefore wanted something affordable and easier to use and modify by both developers and clients.

“We want to make sure developers can quickly develop business management software in less than two hours, and even make it possible for just anyone without programming or database skills to develop their software,” he said.

He also added that Liquid Technologies will make it possible for firms to automated their businesses easily and also access software through affordable subscription rates through their centralized marketplace. The system will also allow developers to share projects with other developers without the fear of sharing the source code.



Arguing that Liquid Systems Technology is the world’s first Graphical User Interface (GUI) based software development technology, King’ori asked developers to try it to create any form of business management software using it, without the need to write program code.

Developer Desktop Environment called Liquid SDK, Client Desktop Environment called Liquid Client/User Platform, Liquid Online Platform (for both developers and clients to access and manage their projects) and Liquid Tablet Platform that enables developers and clients to access their projects on tablet devices.)

The Liquid SDK enables the developers to use a Graphical Interface (drag and drop) to; Build Software Interface, Data input (forms) and output(reports and analysis) creation, formula generation and modifications, data validation and formatting. The SDK handles database management(Create/Write, Edit,Delete) in the background and so the developer does not need to have database skills.

Liquid Developer Kits, Liquid Central Servers and Liquid Client Platforms collaborate to ensure that all Liquid resources and software are used by valid (subscribed) developers and clients. After development, Liquid Software can be accessed on annual subscription plans instead of a one time license fee.

One of the sample Liquid Software created is available here for download[Download the Hotelex.

For final projects, developers can sell their software on the Liquid Market Place.

naija would rush this at the end of the day all you would hear his i made my own app with python or java or c++ Meanwhile its was written with someones already made software.
#team Uselessthiscountry.

Wow!!

Very soon one lazy Nigerian will come here and tell us that they have written all the needed programs!

Really? First? What did Delphi and Visual Basic do then if not RAD (Rapid Application Development)?

I'm begining to see some disgusting monikers in this section always sounding nauseating with their posts.

Really?

really. I am not sure I will like to use a software developed with this toolkit.

not baad...

A step forward just like the way nigerians are lazy to code up websites and are using joomla 2day to build sites soon as this program progresses it wil be the same story.

You write as if you are perfect buh unintelligent. So what is wrong if someone chooses joomla! If someone builds a framework for sth to help and ease a problem, is it a crime if Nigerians use it

LMHO. I understand his concern. That is how it has always been. The eternal battle between traditional skill and new skills. It has always been like that. The veterans are usually afraid that the nascent state-of-the-art technology will come and steal their shine and make even the most inept look marvelous. And they right. But they have no choice. It is inevitable.

His concern is BS. Every programmer and web designer/developer i know of when starting out learn the basics and the hard part and as they advance, they begin to make use of frameworks and softwares to ease their task. Who is ready to code for 15hrs when u know sth berra is out there that'd help u code for lesser hours He should blame those creating the stuffs na

while young programmers like elvis10 are yearning for knowledge, you are basking and glowing in laziness.
I am sure you'll also call yourself a PASSIONATE programmer.
anyways, there are benefits to writing your own codes.
besides, forget the "Framework" title the developers of joomla has adopted, who wont like to call his okada a powerbike?

Joomla is really not a framework, it's a content management system.

Its unfortunate that you are already firing at me with just little knowledge about who I am buh am not going to drag with you cuz I stand to gain nuffin in trying to prove to you that I'm a knowledge seeker... Those who know me knows how stubborn I am when it comes to using CMS or frameworks cuz I never like to use them...and for elvis10 well, its pointless comparing what we both are more interested in..
But I stand on my argument that points that no one should bash any Nigerian for using a framework or CMS or template. Y'all are Nigerians and quick to criticise fellow pals...smh
Peace

I'm a young programmer, in fact just learning Java. But I think with the help of this great kit it would make we uprising/little programmers lazy. We won't know whats going on with the compiler, how it works and stuffs like that, or what do you think? And I am damn sure this is not the first GUI kit!!

As a young and learning programmer, i so so hate stuffs like this

IMO, only the Pros should go for stuffs like this!

In d past "real programmers" coded in *gasp* assembly.
Then c,c++ guys heaped scorn on java but garbage collection and all d conveniences of more convenient languages hasnt killed d dev's job. Cobol was suppose to b so easy for managers and ceos to write their own programs ,yet its convenience only provided a base 4 writing even larger software!
Millions of lines of Cobol code is out there running in d wild.
Point: the most convenient tool will only b used to create more monsters which wud necessitate the service of a logical thinker aka software dev! Afterall wen d user of this software want to issue 10k lines of instruction he/she may b overwhelmed managing all d states in his/her head!
As far as there is a demand for mor advanced information processing machines,there's no escaping the role of a programmer.

Hi! I actually think this is pretty cool news, because the software development kit helps to speed up the development process and make it a lot easier. Working with SDK can be compared to putting together a builder, because that way you will have to create your application with ready-made code blocks, documentation, debugging tools and you just need to put it together correctly.
Although I think most of the people on this forum don't even know what an SDK is. So I recommend you to read this article about SDK meaning which will give you a lot of information about it.
I hope my answer will help someone!
