Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Basic Development

> ## Progress Dynamics framework

> Progress Dynamics is a comprehensive, Repository-based framework for Progress 4GL developers building new distributed applications or migrating existing applications to take advantage of new OpenEdgeŽ technologies.

> A Progress Dynamics application has many different types of components. Some of these components provide support for the user interface, such as:

> - Windows.

> - Tab folders.

> - Menu bars and toolbars.

> - Browsers (display query results and allow record selection).

> - Viewers or frames (display or update a single record).

> Other components are procedural objects that define the business logic of an application.

> Most Progress Dynamics components are data-driven objects, created at run time from data in the Progress Dynamics Object Repository. Progress Dynamics labels these objects as dynamic. A Progress Dynamics application can also include procedural components from the Progress 4GL and ADM SmartObjects. Progress Dynamics labels these objects static, since they are based on static code files (`.p`, `.w`, and so on).
