RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT METHOD
First Claim
1. A processor implemented method for rapid application development comprising the steps of:
- (a) displaying in a graphical user interface of an application development editor a list or other arrangement of variations based on or applying to conditions in the application, each variation being associated with one or more changes in properties or events in the application;
(b) enabling a user to select a specific variation;
(c) displaying, in the graphical user interface, the user interface implications or consequences of that selection;
and in which the operations of the method are executed by a processor.

Abstract
After the claims, please insert as new page 22 of the enclosed published International application, the below Abstract which originally appeared on the cover page of the published International application:
An application development editor displays in a graphical user interface a list or other arrangement of variations based on or applying to conditions in the application, each variation being associated with one or more changes in properties or events in the application. The editor enables a user to select a specific variation and then displays the user interface implications or consequences of that selection. Selecting a specific variation is programmatically equivalent to a specific conditional logic branch or ‘if . . . then ’ code sequence. The invention enable someone with no, or very limited, code writing skills, such as a designer, to be able to produce an application with fully functioning, correct and potentially complex conditional logic.

26. An application developed using a processor implementing a method for rapid application development, the processor:
-
(a) displaying in a graphical user interface of an application development editor a list or other arrangement of variations based on or applying to conditions in the application, each variation being associated with one or more changes in properties or events in the application; (b) enabling a user to select a specific variation; and (c) displaying, in the graphical user interface, the user interface implications or consequences of that selection.

27. A system for rapid application development comprising an application development editor running on a processor and programmed to display in a graphical user interface a list or other arrangement of variations that are based on or applying to conditions in the application, each variation being associated with one or more changes in properties or events in the application;
the application development editor being further programmed to enable a user to select a specific variation and to display, in the graphical user interface, the user interface implications or consequences of that selection.
