Intro

Illumination Software Creator allows anyone to create their own software applications… without writing a single line of “code”. The idea is simple: Arrange colorful building blocks of functionality however you like to create your own, unique, piece of software.  No reading large computer programming books.  No steep learning curve. One project creates apps for Android, iPhone, iPad, Desktops and HTML5 or Flash websites.  (Building for Android, iOS and Flash requires upgrading from the Free Edition to the Deluxe Edition.)

With full support for Windows, Linux and MacOS X, Illumination Software Creator allows you to work wherever you like.  We won’t judge. And, once you’ve created your new piece of software, you can (with a single click) build and run that new application on Windows, Linux or MacOS X desktops, Android devices, Nokia Internet Tablets (such as the N900)… and even as HTML5 or Flash powered rich websites. Warning!  Nerd information ahead! Illumination even gives you the full Adobe Flex, Android Java, iOS Obj-C and Python source code to the projects you create.
