Understanding WebSpeed

WebSpeed is a Progress 4GL development and deployment environment that enables you to build robust, data-driven Internet transaction processing applications for the World Wide Web (WWW). WebSpeed provides application services that add database connectivity and transaction management to browser-based applications. Essentially, WebSpeed provides client access to the functionality of a Progress 4GL application server where a Web browser is the client platform. In addition to building Web-based applications by design, you can use WebSpeed to Web-enable existing Progress 4GL applications that previously ran stand-alone or as an AppServer-based application.
