ILE - The Web Development tool for RPG Programmers

Performance, Low TCO and True RPG Legacy Code Integration With WebSmart ILE

WebSmart ILE Edition offers unparalleled flexibility, and superior total cost of ownership. It produces native ILE CGI objects written primarily in RPG that run on the native HTTP Apache Web Server- included free with every iSeries and System i operating system.

WebSmart ILE also provides seamless integration with any of your existing RPG applications or heritage code. It includes many features and tools for helping you to reuse business logic and user interfaces.

WebSmart ILE is the perfect choice for developers who want to leverage their existing RPG skills to produce iSeries-centric browser-based or Web services (SOA) Applications. WebSmart is technology RPG programmers truly understand.

The efficiency of generated WebSmart ILE CGI applications makes them ideal for running on small or large AS/400s or iSeries, without the need for expensive hardware upgrades or complex middleware installations, providing you with tremendous value and ongoing low TCO.

WebSmart also provides a path to multi-platform deployment. You can access MS SQL Server or MySQL databases from WebSmart ILE and it also uses the same IDE as WebSmart PHP for multi-platform deployment. Only the WebSmart family of Web Development tools gives you this ease of use and flexibility - providing you with short and long-term investment value for all your web application needs.

"The solution is of course to use CGI programming to build browser-based applications with RPG IV... We System i programmers are moving to the web with our user interfaces; CGI and HTML are our best choices for cross-system portability of the client side of those applications."
- Bob Cozzi, October, 2007 System iNews
