Welcome to Release 10

Welcome to OpenEdge Release 10

As applications move beyond traditional client/server models to allow deployment across many platforms and enable a variety of clients, services, and devices, software providers increasingly need greater productivity and flexibility during development and throughout the application life cycle. OpenEdge® Release 10 is designed to exploit the technologies that provide true interoperability in a changing business world, allowing you to efficiently design, build, deploy and manage powerful, easy-to-use applications.

OpenEdge 10 builds on the proven foundation of Progress® software to provide the latest technology needed to build tomorrow’s adaptive applications: an Eclipse-based development environment, new online database features for 24x7 availability, a service-oriented architecture for ensuring integration capabilities at the core of an application, pervasive .NET interoperability, and the most powerful business logic processing available to support it all.

Progress Software Corporation believes that to develop applications efficiently, you need a product that provides the best business and development solution, and the highest level of services and support to back it up. This guide provides the essential information you need to begin using OpenEdge 10. It contains a brief overview of the product, as well as descriptions of the technical support, education services, and consulting services available to you as an OpenEdge user.

With the help of this guide, you will be on your way to developing comprehensive applications in a fraction of the time it would take with other languages and development tools.
