Web-Based Application for GUI Programming Learning Through Reverse Engineering Method

GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming is the process of developing (coding) a graphical interface application. GUI-based application, which replaces TUI (Textual User Interface), allows users to interact with a program interactively. Computer Science students are required to master in creating GUI-based applications because of industry needs. Despite the importance of mastering GUI programming, students still have obstacles when learning it. Students who fail the GUI programming course will potentially experience difficulties in two things. First, it is difficult to finish the final project. Second, it is difficult to get a programmer job after graduation. This research aims to develop a web-based application for GUI programming learning using a reverse engineering method that can produce sourcecode based on GUI designed by users. The application development method used is the Waterfall Method with the stages of Requirement Collection, Analysis & Design, Development & Testing, Implementation, and Maintenance. The conclusion of this research is that the application helps users understand GUI programming learning through the reverse engineering method.
