Developers can use the built-in wizards to get up and running with limited training.
Technology Case Forms Developer 6i integrates seamlessly into the Linux environment. Programming teams benefit from reduced development times when designing Java-based forms with hooks to backend databases. Essentially, RAD environments give programmers a set of tools that help them build working programs quickly, especially when it comes to developing graphical user interfaces. Many also provide library facilities, which foster the reuse of existing code in team environments. RAD tools have been available for Windows and Unix environments for quite some time, but they're now becoming available for Linux, too.
