Rapid application development tutorial
4 
Introduction 
The main business of 1C Company (see page 154) is development of 
business management and accounting software, as well as educational 
applications development and publishing, and software distribution. Over 
1,000,000 companies and over 4,000,000 employees are using business 
software powered by 1C:Enterprise (see page 151). Market requirements 
for developers and qualified users capable operating 1C:Enterprise grows up 
constantly. 
The main goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate the basic features of the 
1C:Enterprise 8 platform and its software engineering technology. There will 
be no secrets except for one: within a few minutes, using almost only a 
mouse, you can create a fully functional application to keep personal finance 
records that is compatible with different DBMS (database management 
systems), Windows, Linux, web browsers, and even iOS and Android mobile 
devises. 
Perhaps you are already familiar with one of high-level programming 
language, for example Java, C++, or Delphi. Many books and programming 
training courses start with a simple task such as creating a program that 
would display a simple text on a screen, for example, "Hello, world!" 
In fact, what you are going to do in this tutorial is "Hello, world!" powered 
by 1C:Enterprise. Indeed, the functionality of the demo application is going 
to be much broader than the simple output of a phrase on a screen. 
However, considering all capabilities of the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform, what 
you are going to develop is precisely "Hello, world!" in the world of 
1C:Enterprise.
