Developing with OpenEdge Architect
OpenEdge Architect is the new development environment designed for building business applications. In this beginner-level workshop, you will learn options on how to load your OpenEdge application(s) into the IDE and the key features and functionality to build and maintain them. Developers and architects should attend to see how the tools can enhance productivity. You'll configure an environment, import an existing application into that environment, and modify it using the toolset.
A pre-release version of OpenEdge 10.2A will be the software version used. Previous versions will not be shown or discussed. Knowledge of OpenEdge is helpful but not necessary. If you are new to OpenEdge 10 download an evaluation version to review prior to the workshop.
A Taste of the Advanced GUI
This workshop provides an introduction and overview of the new OpenEdge Advanced GUI delivered as part of OpenEdge 10.2A. By the end of this workshop you will have a good understanding of the value and capabilities of the Advanced GUI and how to get started using it for your own applications. After a brief technology and capability overview, you will get hands-on experience building feature rich forms using the powerful new Visual Designer from within OpenEdge Architect:
- Simply using the ABL, you'll build application screens with a Microsoft desktop look and feel leveraging Microsoft.NET and Infragistics controls—including building a reusable control.
- Experience how easy it is to adopt the new Advanced GUI. Since the Advanced GUI does not depend upon the AppServer AND will work with a variety of application architectures you'll see how easy it is to have new screens co-exist with existing screens without re-architecting your existing application, all running within the same session.
- For those of you who have requirements that depend on third party controls, we will show you how to extend the visual designer with .NET controls obtained from third parties.
