PowerBuilder is an integrated development environment (IDE) used to create applications. PowerBuilder 12.5 has good integration with the Microsoft. In fact, the vendor will tell you that “PowerBuilder IS .NET”. Though originally designed to compete with Microsoft developed IDE’s (primarily Visual Studio), the PowerBuilder .NET integration was created to allow continuity for the PowerBuilder project and to take advantage of the .NET platform that many developers are now using to create business critical applications. PowerBuilder can be thought of as a .NET language, with full Common Type System (CTS) language support. The PowerBuilder 12.5 for .NET IDE is preferred by many application developers as it is a fast, cost-effective and easy application development software. The typical PowerBuilder business application is high performance and data driven. Technology used in the PowerBuilder .NET integration is also unique in that it continuously evolves to accommodate the latest software advances on the Microsoft platform and, of course, the business needs of the users. This ability to keep up with advances in VUI (Visual User Interface) advances as well as functionality creates valuable competitive advantage for businesses that use the PowerBuilder for .NET platform. One of the reasons the PowerBuilder to .NET platform is favoured as rapid application development software by some developers is its speed and simplicity. This development speed is attributed to the graphical software construction tools and the original PowerBuilder “‘Data Window”’ technology. This function, brought forward to Powerbuilder 12 from the older PowerBuilder versions allows developers to use minimal coding to create data rich applications. Thanks to DataWindow, developers using PowerBuilder for the .NET environment may only need to write...

Micro Focus has recently come up with many new options meant to cut expenses and also to cut time, when it comes to building or just maintaining applications used by organizations; some of these options are Micro Focus Cobol, Micro Focus Server Express, Micro Focus DevPartner Studio, Micro Focus Silk4J and Micro Focus for Visual Studio. These options generally enable Java and other devs to modernize their mainframes, by offering a reliable support in the entire cycle that involves editing, compilation and debugging. Micro Focus Cobol– Server Express (RDO) The Micro Focus Server Express will permit client to maintain their programs in Cobol and make the code sourcing on the server that represents the target, preventing them from transferring code between a development environment and the Linux/Unix server, where applications run and are being tested. It also allows the usage of local services and databases. How does it help organizations The RDO along with the Micro Focus Cobol and all the other options is the answer to the needs of any organization in point of debugging and testing application, as close to their production as they can be. This actually translates into a substantial time reduction, because if until now it was a matter of days until a development project could be completed, this can now be done in a few hours, which means more productivity and thus more satisfied customers.

What is Micro Focus Cobol? According to Wikipedia COBOL is one of the most ancient programming languages. Its name comes from the words COmmon Business-Oriented Language, a definition for its main use in finance and other businesses, as well as in systems of administration for governments and companies. Its date of birth is18th of September 1959. A bit of history of Cobol In the second part of that year, a team consisting of several researchers coming from different sectors of the private industry but also from the government and educational departments got together with the purpose of creating a different technical approach to a common business language. 3 government agencies joined the battle, among which there was also the US Air Force . There were 6 computers manufactures, users, on one hand, and the University of Pennsylvania Computing Center on the other hand. A year later, the first compilers for COBOL were implemented on two different computers, demonstrating that compatibility is possible. And that was only the beginning. Today, after 40 years, Cobol is a programming the language dedicated to stable applications for businesses, while MF Cobol is the power engine behind the modern Cobol. The engineers continued to move forward to meet users’ demands. They were there when tools such as Visual Cobol was born, so that Cobol applications is able to run on JVM, Linux or Windows. MF Cobol in Business Micro focus COBOL has been the dominant programming language in the business domain. Around the year 2000, the company estimated that there were about 300 billion lines of computer code in use in the world and...
