The currency of the programming skills grows continuously. Last years it grows even in professions which are not directly connected with programming. People create own applications to extend basic opportunities - to automatize routine operation, save time, and decrease mistakes happened because of the human factor. It is obvious, that growing computerization in all spheres of human life favors the increasing need for programming skills in foreseeable future. Thus, topicality of education and self-education in the sphere of programming tends to increase as well. This paper presents the example of using NeoBook rapid application builder. NeoBook can be used for creating different applications even by not specialists in the sphere of computer technologies. It is well-known that “better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times”. So, we demonstrate all steps of creating one specific project by a young NeoBook beginner - 11-year-old girl.

Applying experimental methods in social and humanitarian sciences is complicated both because of specifics of the research subject (activeness and development of psychic and cultural reality) and because of researchers' not-awareness about the possibilities of modern IT which support controlling necessary variables. In this paper we suggest an instrument used in Tyumen State University for several years - NeoBook - rapid application builder. It can be used by not programmers for developing software for constitutive and forming research. On the example of the investigation of visual perception with the help of programmed tachistiscope we demonstrate effective and easy way to provide experimental research with stimulus material. Following the instructions in the article everyone can create programmed tachistiscope even if it is your first experience of programming in NeoBook.

The article begins with general information about NeoBool - rapid application builder for Windows. There are shown some specifics of NeoBook which make it effective instrument for teaching programming 14-years and elder pupils from the one hand and useful instrument for creating professional applications, from the other hand. Possibilities of programming with NeoBook allows to recommend this technology both for educational purposes and for professional use.
