CodeGear™ Now Offering Delphi®/400 Products that Help Developers Rapidly Modernize IBM® System i™ and AS/400™ Applications for Windows and Web 2.0
Monday 10th March 2008
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. - March 10, 2008 - CodeGear, a leader in developer tools, today announced it is offering a Delphi/400 family of products for IBM System i applications development. The move extends to System i developers the latest features and proven visual, Rapid Application Development (RAD) framework of CodeGear's Delphi for Windows and PHP products.
Using Delphi/400 and Delphi/400 for PHP, developers with IBM iSeries and AS/400 systems can rapidly create easy-to-use rich Windows and Web 2.0-based clients for legacy AS/400 and System i applications. In addition, development teams can build new applications and extend existing systems with modern Windows and Web development languages such as Delphi and PHP instead of RPG and COBOL.
The Delphi/400 and Delphi/400 for PHP products are now available directly from CodeGear as part of its industry-leading developer tools portfolio.
"The majority of AS/400 and System i applications in use today are still character-based, terminal oriented applications," said Michael Swindell, CodeGear Vice President of Products and Strategy. "With the Delphi/400 products, developers can use RAD techniques to quickly and cost effectively add rich client front ends with Windows XP, Vista, or PHP Web 2.0 user interfaces. Modernized front ends are easier to learn and operate which translates to increased efficiency and quality of service and lower operational cost." Read the full article.
