In [[computing]], '''End User Computing''' (EUC) refer to systems in which non-programmer [[user (computing)|end-users]] can create working [[Application software|application]]s. <ref>{{cite|url=http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1120304|title=End-user computing}}</ref> EUC is a group of approaches to computing that aim at better integrating [[End-user (computer science)|end users]] into the computing environment or that attempt to realize the potential for high-end computing to perform in a trustworthy manner in problem solving of the highest order.<ref> McBride, Neil, "[http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~nkm/EUC1.html Towards User-Oriented control of End-User Computing in Large Organizations]"</ref><ref>Mahmood, Adam, [http://www.idea-group.com/bookseries/details.asp?id=3 Advances in End User Computing Series] University of Texas, USA,ISSN: 1537-9310</ref><ref>[http://www.ieuc.org/end-user-computing.html End User Computing] The Institute for End User Computing, Inc.</ref>

The '''EUC Ranges''' section describes two types of approaches that are at different ends of a spectrum. A simple example of these two extremes can use the [[SQL]] context.
