The Introduction , the Component Guide and h ei tml Features sections have already provided you with a few ideas regarding the possibilities offered by h ei tml , an integrated software development environment that combines HTML Web Publishing with SQL databases. But h ei tml is also a full-featured programming language. It offers structured, modular, and object-oriented programming techniques that enable you to develop Web Pages in a logical and consistent manner. One of h ei tml 's many strengths is its ability to interact with SQL Databases in an almost invisible manner. Even if you have no previous experience with SQL you'll find it a relatively simple matter to create a wide range of Database Applications with the tools provided in our Application Component Library .
Every computer language has it's own rules and commands to learn, and h ei tml is no different.
But we think you'll find h ei tml so similar to HTML that it will seem like a natural extension of the working habits you've already developed. Again, however, you don't need to panic if these areas are new to you. The Language Guide tells you what you need to know when you need to know it, and it provides many easy to understand examples that demonstrate how these techniques are to be employed. Programmers will need new tools to help them keep up with this fast changing world. Our product has features that will appeal to the most demanding professionals.
