Hi, our organization picked Robocom's RIMS for our Inventory Management System. I have realized that the RIMS use the webspeed as its programming tool. Now, I am trying to get to know what the tool is.

The vendor told us that Webspeed is a 4GL that generates Web-based application. I would like to know what web-based program it generates. (HTML, Java, PHP, Perl, Java Script?)

Can you also provide me a good introductory book and white paper about the progress/webspeed in general.

Thanks,

Erik
 
Hi Erik,

It could generate what ever you might want to generate meaning: plain HTML (with or without javascript), XML or stream any other file format that you need. It can generate source files on PHP, PERL or what ever but I don't see the point of this... those can serve for server side scripting and this is precisely what WebSpeed does. It is not a script parser like PHP, PERL, ASP... the sources are compiled first, usually you don't use compile-on-the-fly on your production server even if this is possible.

The language used for development is pure 4GL progress, documentation available on PCS web site: http://www.progress.com/products/documentation/index.ssp



Regards,

Marian
