Thanks, Last weekend I just finished the Classroom tutorial. I agree that ABL is easy on data access and the app server is kind of Unique and it's a plus. I still need some guidances on the following area: 1. ABL good for general programming? such as complex algorithm,web service consumption (i.e interact with credit card transactions which typically are exposed as web services) and EDI? 2. GUI: we have to stick with 11.1, which doesn't have something like Teleric but it it does have GUI for .NET. The whole thing .NET comes into play is that ABL GUI is not strong enough for windows users? ( I used to code Oracle Forms 6i which works for database entries but its GUI is just basic). For me, should I just use 11.1 appBuilder or just use 11.1 .NET GUI( visual designer)? I believe these 2 IDEs are separate GUI development tools? 3. We got all OE software as a bundle from the ERP company( including RDBMS 11.1 , app servers 11.1 and developer tools 11.1), I'm not sure how Progress prices its software: is the developer studio free?if It's free and backwards compatible with older database version, can I just use the 11.6 version Developer Studio ( or AppBulider or Visual Designer)? Once again thank you for the great advices.
