= Rappture Toolkit =

'''Rappture''' is a toolkit supporting '''R'''apid '''app'''lication infrastruc'''ture''', making it quick and easy to develop powerful scientific applications.  Your underlying simulator can be written in C/C++, Fortran, MATLAB/Octave, R, Java, Perl, Python, or Tcl.  Once you describe the input/output for your simulator, Rappture handles the rest, generating a graphical interface automatically based on your description.  The resulting application is easy to deploy on [http://nanohub.org] and other hubs based on the [http://hubzero.org HUBzero platform], so a large community of users can access the application through a web browser.
