MC SHOWCASE BUYER'S GUIDE

Profound UI is a full-featured graphical user interface platform based on IBM's RPG Open Access, the ground-breaking enhancement to RPG that opens it up to Web interfaces. The platform offers developers an easy, natural method for creating connected IBM i applications that deliver rich user experiences regardless of project complexity or organization size.

Profound UI uses the same top-down methodology, native RPG operations, and programming techniques that IBM i developers are already familiar with. Because of its native approach, the learning curve for RPG developers is virtually non-existent. Developers no longer have to familiarize themselves with the low level complexities of Web 2.0 technologies or become experts in JavaScript, AJAX, and DHTML, to create robust Web applications.

Profound UI, instead, provides a comprehensive visual design tool that allows anyone to create professional browser interfaces in a point and click manner. With the designer, developers can drag and drop user interface components, also known as widgets, onto the interface; then resize and edit their behavior visually.

With more than 125 cross-browser rich widgets, and hundreds of visual widget properties, Profound UI is the most robust and flexible Web development environment for RPG.
