Developing New Web Applications

RPG Smart Pages

Profound Logic Software’s RPGsp is based around a PC-oriented integrated development environment (IDE), which provides a simple WYSIWYG interface to allow you to design your Web pages and integrate RPG variables and logic into the design.

If you prefer to have more of the work done for you, you can utilize the supplied wizards, which help you generate basic List/Add/Change/Delete type applications, among other things. The most recent release provides support for themes and templates, which allow users to customize the appearance of applications generated through the templates.
