Developing a Progress OpenEdge Web App Using Kendo UI Builder

Kendo UI® Builder by Progress® supports the design and development of a modern web UI for an OpenEdge application in the form of a deployable web app with access to one or more OpenEdge Advanced Business Language® (OpenEdge ABL) application services implemented as OpenEdge Data Object Services.

In this course, you will learn how to develop a web app that presents a variety of views of the data to the user. In Kendo UI Builder, you will create the web app, which uses OpenEdge Data Object Services as sources of data. After you create the web app, you will test it. Finally, you will learn how to deploy the web app to Progress Application Server for OpenEdge (PAS for OpenEdge).
