Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Getting Started

> ## Integrated development tools

> The Progress Dynamics toolset includes:

> - An Application Development Environment (ADE).

> - Additional tools and utilities to facilitate application design, migration, and deployment.

> The heart of the Progress Dynamics ADE is the AppBuilder, which supports the development of both dynamic objects and traditional static 4GL objects. Support for Progress Dynamics objects includes the ability to automatically generate a standard set of data and UI objects directly from the schema of your application database. Progress Dynamics also allows you to edit the generated Repository object data to customize Progress Dynamics objects for the specific requirements of your application.

> Additional enhancements to the ADE allow you to manage:

> - Administrative features such as application configuration and security.

> - Application deployment options available with or without the use of Roundtable® TSMS™, a third-party source code management system designed for OpenEdge developers.

> In addition, Progress Dynamics provides:

> - A utility to help migrate ADM static objects to Progress Dynamics objects.

> - A template that you can use with ERwin®, a third-party database design program, to design and generate OpenEdge database schemas with Progress Dynamics-compliant standards and built-in referential integrity validation.
