The Changing Role of the User in the Development of Application Software (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how users are reshaping software development and gain practical insight into the future of application design.
This analytic study looks at how the balance of power in software creation is shifting from programmers to the people who use software. It explains the rise of tools, macros, and object-oriented approaches that let users assemble and tailor applications themselves. The author grounds the discussion in a pilot study of three real projects, showing how requests move between users and makers and what that means for practice and efficiency.
- Learn how modern programming tools and environments empower users to build their own applications
- See the difference between simple change requests and richer data sharing during development
- Understand patterns of collaboration between users and manufacturers and what works best
- Get practical examples of how firms partition tasks and how this trend could shape future software
Ideal for readers curious about software design, information systems, and the evolving roles of creators and users in technology.

The Changing Role of the User in the Development of Application Software
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. 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.
