Scaffolding, as used in computing, refers to one of two techniques:
Scaffolding in software development refers to automated code generation techniques that quickly produce the fundamental structure of software applications. Typically employed within model–view–controller (MVC) and similar architectural patterns, scaffolding helps developers rapidly create code for common application functions and data interactions, particularly CRUD operations.
Scaffolding evolved from earlier software development tools such as Oracle's CASE Generator and various other 4GL tools, designed to simplify the creation of robust database-driven applications.
The concept gained widespread popularity through frameworks like Ruby on Rails, known for its efficient generation of MVC structures and CRUD operations. Scaffolding is now supported by a wide range of development frameworks across different programming languages, including:
Scaffolding can occur at two distinct phases of software development:
Scaffolding presents several advantages and disadvantages:
Complicated software projects often share certain conventions on project structure and requirements. For example, they often have separate folders for source code, binaries and code tests, as well as files containing license agreements, release notes and contact information. To simplify the creation of projects following those conventions, "scaffolding" tools can automatically generate them at the beginning of each project. Such tools include Yeoman, Cargo and Ritchie CLI. For .NET projects, dotnet, the command-line tool included with the .NET SDK, can be used to scaffold new projects.

Scaffolding, as used in computing, refers to one of two techniques: Code generation It is a technique related to database access in some model–view–controller frameworks. Project generation It is a technique supported by various programming tools.
A scaffold, or scaffolding, in construction, is a temporary structure that supports workers and equipment above the ground or floor. Scaffold and scaffolding may also refer to:
Logic Programming Associates (LPA) is a company specializing in logic programming and artificial intelligence software. LPA was founded in 1980 and is widely known for its range of Prolog compilers, the Flex expert system toolkit and most recently, VisiRule. LPA was established to exploit research at the Department of Computing and Control at Imperial College London into logic programming carried out under the supervision of Prof Robert Kowalski.
Quantum programming refers to the process of designing and implementing algorithms that operate on quantum systems, typically using quantum circuits composed of quantum gates, measurements, and classical control logic. These circuits are developed to manipulate quantum states for specific computational tasks or experimental outcomes. Quantum programs may be executed on quantum processors, simulated on classical hardware, or implemented through laboratory instrumentation for research purposes. When working with quantum processor-based systems, quantum programming languages provide high-level abstractions to express quantum algorithms efficiently. These languages often integrate with classical programming environments and support hybrid quantum-classical workflows. The development of quantum software has been strongly influenced by the open-source community, with many toolkits and frameworks—such as Qrisp, Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, and qBraid SDK—available under open licenses. Quantum programming can also be used to model or control experimental systems through quantum instrumentation and sensor-based platforms. While some quantum computing architectures—such as linear optical quantum computing using the KLM protocol—require specialized hardware, others use gate-based quantum processors accessible through software interfaces. In both cases, quantum programming serves as the bridge between theoretical algorithms and physical implementation.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
