Abstract

A method and system for generating a computer program. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a program tree editor for directly manipulating a program tree. A program tree comprises of plurality of nodes corresponding to computational constructs. The program tree editor receives commands from a user that are independent of a programming language syntax. The present invention also provides a display representation generator for generating a display representation of the program tree. The display representation generator retrieves nodes from the program tree and displays a display representation of the node. A user of the present invention preferably interacts with the program tree editor based on the display representation.
