Re: SilverDev; RPG ILE web development centralized on your IBM i

[Marie-Line MANCHON <mlm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that having to install MyDesk on all PCs is a downside of 
Silverdev, but it allows you to be totally rid of concerns about 
compatibility with different browsers and different release of browsers, 
which is my nightmare when I program web apps.

When you run 5250 applications, you have to install client access or any 
other 5250 emulator, so I never found that installing MyDesk is annoying 
enough for stopping me from using Silverdev. The installation process 
for a standard user takes only a few seconds.
It's quite different from other client-server programs which needs tons 
of dll to be installed on each PC, along with the applications themselves.
Remember that Silverdev core and Silverdev applications run entirely on 
the i.

All my customers using Silverdev are very happy with it.

Some advanced features are still young and need to be developed with 
time, but what is great is that the support is very reactive and kindly 
develop what you need quite fast. The availability and quality of 
Experia's technical team is part of what makes me a Silverdev addict.
