WEBDEV is a full development environment that includes all the tools required for developing and maintaining Internet or Intranet sites. Unlike other programming languages, there is no need to find and add modules to be able to design, check and deploy a site. The WEBDEV 5GL (5th Generation Language), WLanguage, will surprise you by its simplicity: a few hours are all you need to get the hang of it, a week is usually all it takes to fully master its potential! No more programming hassle, WLanguage is available in English and in French! |
