The key to this easy web development approach is ASP - Active Server Pages. This kind of techonology has been around on Microsoft web servers for quite some time, but now we are opening up the most reliable and scaleable server on the planet to the same kind of ASP tricks ... ... The Ice Is Breaking...
IceBreak is more that just another webserver. It interactively cooperates with your web-designing tool in a way that makes web application development a joy.
The HTML code which is extended with ASP is converted online into a native RPG program object. It happens when you save your web project onto the the IFS on your AS/400 (iSeries) server, and refreshes the page in your browser.
Run time time errors: If a program fails at runtime, most AS/400 (iSeries) progammers will use the joblog to determine the reason why. The IceBreak server provides you with the same facilities by formating the current joblog from the server job into a nice HTML page shown in your browser.
Programming skills required?
You are a web designer with ASP experience or you have been working with RPG programs on S/38, AS/400, iSeries or i5 systems and you know what *INLR is. Since IBM introduced the "free-format-RPG" programming language the life of RPG programming has become much easier. The syntax looks much like BASIC now. However, IceBreak allows you to use both the fixed format RPG as well as the free format layout.
TRY ICEBREAK
Rather than reading through a large number of sales material it is much easier to try IceBreak hands-on.
