Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Getting Started

Web development

With Progress Dynamics, the same repository definitions that generate a Windows graphic user interface (GUI) can also generate a Web UI. The Web Request and User Interface Managers can translate the abstract repository definitions into Dynamic HTML. The DHTML employs Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript components (JS) to create a Web UI with the features of a Windows GUI. The JavaScript files provide the behavior. The CSS files provide the look and feel of the application.

For more on Web development, OpenEdge WebSpeed®, the new Managers, and using CSS files and JavaScript, see OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Web Development Guide . Sample CSS files for use with the DynSports sample application are provided in the <install-dir>\Tutorial directory, if you want to experiment with running the sample application to the Web.
