HyperCard was an application program created by Bill Atkinson for
Apple Computer, Inc. that was among the first successful hypermedia
systems before the World Wide Web. It combined database capabilities
with a graphical, flexible, user-modifiable interface. HyperCard also
featured HyperTalk, written by Dan Winkler, a powerful and easy-to-
learn programming language for manipulating data and the user
interface. HyperCard users often employed it as a programming system
for Rapid Application Development of different kinds of applications,
database and otherwise.
HyperCard was originally released with System Software 6 in 1987 and
was finally withdrawn from sale in March 2004, although by then it had
not been updated for many years. HyperCard runs natively only in Mac
OS versions 9 or earlier, but it can still be used in Mac OS X's
Classic mode on non-Intel based machines (G5 and earlier). The last
functional native HyperCard authoring environment is Classic mode in
Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) on non-Intel based machines (although it can be
run on modern Intel-based machines via an emulation layer such as
SheepShaver and Basilisk (in this version. Older versions run well on
Mini vMac, too).
