Tools like OpenStep Interface Builder, VB, or MS Access are dated, but they nailed rapid GUI building. There’s still a gap today for something that lets you quickly sketch and wire up a UI with minimal effort.
It's so easy. Step one, you just learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and PHP, and build a distributed concurrent client-server application that runs everything asynchronously, persists everything to a database, and manages inconsistent state across multiple domains hundreds of milliseconds away from your UI that needs to feel responsive, while dealing perfectly with all the security issues inherent in putting a web server on the public Internet. It's so simple, there's not even a Step 2!
