NAB (Native Application Builder) project provides C++ GUI building environment. It can create the GUI application visually and it can generate C++ GUI source code automatically. Once the source code was generated, you can make binary code for multiple platforms including mobile and embedded devices, such as Windows, Linux, MacOS, and several real-time operating systems. Conceptually, this is similar to SWT and JFace but NAB tool was written in C++ and designed for use in C++ applications. This talk will provide an overview of NAB, and describe release plan. You can get the valuable information for new way to GUI development and you can get the information of the way to implement the own GUI libraries. At now, NAB project provides the plug-in for MWT run-time library distributed by WideStudio open source project. But we aim for an extensible framework for various libraries.
