BANGALORE, INDIA: Programmers spend days understanding the requirements and needs for building a software solution for an organization. They interact with business domain experts like financial analysts, HR personals, or marketing managers to understand what they need and try figuring out the specific business functionalities required to build the software solution.

Despite all these efforts, the software solution doesn't come out as desired by the domain experts, mainly due to the fact that the programmers have to convert the domain expert's knowledge into their own programmatical knowledge to build the software.

Now suppose the domain experts have the liberty to design the software solution as per their needs and the software solution reflecting the exact intentions of the domain expert who designed the solution, then the whole concept of Intentional Programming (IP) is achieved. With IP, the domain expert can use his expertise in form of graphical representations to define the logic of the tasks for the application.

What is Intentional Programming?
Intentional Programming was a research project led by Charles Simonyi at Microsoft, until early 2001. Later Simonyi found his own startup company 'Intentional Software Corporation' in year 2002, which was focused on making software based on his concept of IP.
