RPG programmers will find the transition to web development smooth, as WebSmart has been developed with them in mind. Leverage your investment in your IBM i by easily integrating existing RPG code.

“We were able to put together an entire online ordering process using WebSmart. It took about half the time that it took a web development firm with a staff of about five programmers doing a similar project.”

Programmers have flexibility: WebSmart can create IBM i or multi-platform applications (including Linux, UNIX and Windows) over DB2, MySQL, Oracle or MS SQL data.

Always be mobile–ready, using WebSmart to develop apps for iOS, Android and Windows that are equipped with UI features like auto-resizing and touch gestures, right out-of-the-box.

Developers have used WebSmart to, for example, extend the capabilities (and relevance) or their ERP software by adding various desktop and mobile web applications to meet specific business requirements, including:

• Business-business order entry
• Ecommerce
• Invoicing
• Online inquiries, and much more.

WebSmart is available in four editions depending on your exact requirements:

WebSmart PHP

WebSmart PHP enables RPG, PHP and other programmers to develop IBM i and multi-platform PHP web applications. PHP is a hugely popular open source programming language, which is fully supported by IBM and Zend on the IBM i.

WebSmart Node.js

Taking into account the interest in another new programming language on IBM i, the latest version of WebSmart, developer can now create desktop and mobile applications on the IBM i using open source Node.js. In-built templates generate the initial HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

WebSmart ILE

Created with RPG developers in mind, WebSmart ILE eases the transition to web development making it easy to call existing RPG programs and modules so you can fully leverage your investment in the IBM i.

WebSmart Mobile

Included with ILE and PHP versions, WebSmart Mobile speeds up the development of mobile web apps by using in-built jQuery templates to generate the initial UI (i.e. HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and server side RPG or PHP code automatically.
