WebSpeed Workshop

The following are included with the WebSpeed Workshop product:

AppBuilder

WebSpeed 3.1 introduces a new visual programming environment and tool called the AppBuilder. The AppBuilder framework unifies traditional client/server and n-tier functionality with Web-based technology to support a broad, integrated range of application and development options. With the AppBuilder, you can quickly create complex application interfaces simply by mapping HTML and integrating database information. You can assemble applications using a variety of Web objects, ranging in scale from HTML interfaces to SmartDataObjects and CGI Wrappers. The Application Development Model, Version 2 (ADM 2) introduces new ADM include files and support objects.

The AppBuilder provides you with shortcuts for creating standard business objects through Progress SmartObjects. These are Progress procedures that encapsulate standard user interface logic and data. SmartObjects automate development by letting you quickly and easily create reusable code in a graphical, object-oriented programming environment. Once created, SmartObjects can be assembled into applications by pointing and clicking. The AppBuilder supplies several powerful SmartObjects templates, which you can use and customize. You can also create your own SmartObjects.

Wizards and Templates

You can use wizards and templates to create professional, multi-page Internet Transaction Processing (ITP) applications with little or no coding, significantly cutting development time while preserving the ability to customize your application.

Web Tools

These tools let you write code, check syntax, view database schema information, and monitor your Web server environment through an intuitive, browser interface that also provides smart links to sample applications and support services.

Scripting Lab

Scripting Lab allows you to quickly test code fragments before adding them to your WebSpeed application, increasing productivity and helping you create feature-rich user interfaces and browser-side validation routines using JavaScript, VBScript, and Java applets.
