'''End-user computing''' (EUC) refers to systems in which non-programmers 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 to better integrate [[user (computing)|end users]] into the computing environment. These approaches attempt to realize the potential for high-end computing to perform problem-solving in a trustworthy manner in problem-solving.<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>

End-user computing can range in complexity from users simply clicking a series of buttons, to writing scripts in a controlled [[scripting language]], to being able to modify and execute code directly.
