"You'll find that you'll be writing basic stuff within a day or two. As is with learning any new IDE and language (and there's a language involved here-see the Functionality section below), it will take a little time and effort but given all the helps, programming aids, etc., you should be good to go."Don Rima, iSystem Magazine (IBM)

"There are several vendors who Web-enable existing RPG applications, but there are few vendors who will convert RPG into code designed to run on the iSeries. BCD Software recently released a tool to convert existing applications to the PML language of its flagship WebSmart."Joe Pluta, MCPressOnline
"...With WebSmart they're not overwhelmed. You put a programmer in front of the IDE with a template or two and watch his eyes light up," he says. "You can do much more sophisticated coding, with much less effort."Alex Woodie, ITJungle
"When WebSmart 4.0 ships later this year or early next year, Business Computer Design Int'l says, users will find the integrated development toolset easier to use than that in previous versions."Alex Woodie, ITJungle
"I can tell you of an $800 million electrical company that burned through $100,000 and were totally dismayed because they did not get what they wanted with WebSphere," says Eric Figura, manager of sales and marketing at BCD. "They didn't even come close. The company came to BCD and said, 'We'll pay you for 40 hours of consulting to show us how far you can go with the application that we want.' After 38 hours of coding, using BCD's WebSmart, Figura says, the BCD programmers completed the company application. "Dan Burger, ITJungle
"BCD has also announced the beta test release of WebSmart Site Management System. Built by using BCD's ProGen WebSmart development tool, Site Management System is an administrative tool that runs under the WebSmart Application Server. Site Management System allows users to implement systemwide security; change the look of a site by modifying front-end pages"Joe Hertvik, ITJungle
