Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book explores how the division of labor between users and manufacturers affects innovation in software development. The author argues that, as software tools become easier to use, the responsibility for application development is shifting from generic manufacturers to the users themselves. This trend is leading to a new, more effective division of labor between the developer and the user of software. The book examines the changing role of the user in the development of application software, and seeks to establish an empirical basis for research on the actual partitioning of application programming tasks between the user and the manufacturer. The author concludes that the most effective way to partition tasks is for manufacturers to develop tools and transfer them to the users, who can then develop their own applications using the tools developed by the manufacturer. This division of labor allows users to develop applications that are tailored to their specific needs, while manufacturers can focus on developing tools that are used by a wide range of users. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Excerpt from The Changing Role of the User in the Development of Application Software

Although most software applications are currently developed by programmers, innovations in software programming tools and user-friendly methods to link these tools increasingly provide users who are not programmers with the ability to develop their own applications more efficiently and cost effectively. These innovations are in the process of.
