IBM is working on QEDwiki project in order to help out with the end-user programming.

QEDwiki actually stands for quick and easily done wiki. The idea behind the whole project is meant to help businesspeople create their own Web pages by easily adding components to a pallet. IBM has always been a supporter of programming languages like Java and Cobol but now the company plans to sum up all these type of technologies into software and services for applications which are short lived but which can be built very fast.

The whole point of QEDwiki is to bring help people build Web applications without using professional programmers. In order to collect and share information, QEDwiki uses Ajax scripting and a wiki on a server.

Now, if more sophisticated applications is what people are looking for, then, using QEDwiki and PHP should actually do it.

Even if just in tests now, the QEDwiki is bound to bring a new idea of application assembly. The vision of enabling businesspeople to build their own applications has been around for some time but it continuously failed to become reality.

IBM is most likely to release the QEDwiki software later this year, on its Alphaworks Web site.
