Rapidly develop a console app with a lot of options and give a command line program a GUI

The article introduces Command Line GUI, a shared library inspired by the Plossum library, which allows rapid development of console apps with parameters and options, providing a GUI without additional programming. It demonstrates how to develop plugins for existing command line programs or console apps utilizing Plossum, using a data model class and attributes to describe options, and how Command Line GUI can handle multiple plugins.

I started my IT career in programming on different embedded devices since 1992, such as credit card readers, smart card readers and Palm Pilot.

Since 2000, I have mostly been developing business applications on Windows platforms while also developing some tools for myself and developers around the world, so we developers could focus more on delivering business values rather than repetitive tasks of handling technical details.

Beside technical works, I enjoy reading literatures, playing balls, cooking and gardening.
