Chapter three discusses the visual programming, its history, advantages and disadvantages and why it is a suitable solution for the suggested programming language .Chapter four talks about IDE‘s, their role in the software development, their types, designs, advantages, the facilities they provide and the difficulties they face .Chapter five introduces the IDE developed specially for GEN and gives a brief preview of the implementation and the technology used for it.
