HyperCard was an application program from Apple Computer which was among the first successful hypermedia systems before the World Wide Web. It most closely resembles a database application in concept, in that it stores information, and is graphical, flexible and creates files that are easy to modify. It also includes HyperTalk, a powerful and easy to use programming language, to manipulate data and the user interface. HyperCard users often used it as a programming system for Rapid Application Development as opposed to a database.
HyperCard was originally released with System Software 6 in 1987, and was finally withdrawn from sale in March 2004, although it had not been updated for many years at that time. HyperCard runs natively only in Mac OS versions 9 or earlier, although it can still be used in Mac OS X's Classic mode.
