AppWare was a rapid application development system for Microsoft Windows and the Mac OS based on a simple graphical programming language. AppWare was developed by Joseph Firmage and marketed by Serius, a company started by Firmage in 1989. The AppWare product was originally known as Serius Developer before Novell purchased it in 1993 during Ray Noorda's period of intense empire building. Immediately after the acquisition AppWare was positioned as one of the "three pillars" of Novell's long-term strategy, the others being NetWare and UnixWare, but the product was quickly killed off when Noorda was forced out of Novell in 1994. It was sold off to a small group of its original developers in 1995, who reformed as Network Multimedia and sold AppWare under the unfortunate name Micro Brew for a short time before simply disappearing.
