Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Web Development Guide

Overview of Web application development

To create a Progress Dynamics Web application, you perform the same procedures that you perform when creating a Progress Dynamics Windows application. The general steps are:

Create a new product and modules to organize the objects in your application.
Import tables from your application database as entities in the Repository.
Generate application objects (SDOs, browsers, and viewers).
View and edit your application objects.
Use the Container Builder to construct a page to hold your application objects.

See OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Basic Development for a detailed description of application development. Also see OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Getting Started for a tutorial that takes you through application development step by step.

After general application development is complete, you do the following to complete application development for the Web:

Set up Progress Dynamics, WebSpeed, and a Web server to run your application, which is described in Chapter 3, " Setting Up Progress Dynamics for Running Web Applications."
View your application in a browser, which is described in the "Running a Progress Dynamics Web application" section.
Customize your application for the Web, using HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, and JavaScript, which is described in Chapter 5, " Customizing with Dynamic HTML."
