This will help us to reduce the cost of developing Web applications and stay ahead of the competition. At the same time the platform is robust. We can easily create a system in a short time. When we want to create a new form or prompt, we just pick up a template, create the file and it is finished. There are many little tedious things that I don't have to think about anymore, like finding an available indicator to reverse image a field in error.
Testing is also easier, since there is less new code to test.
It has now become painful for me to go back and maintain RPG programs. We built a complex high quality application in a short time. But it is not just a matter of comparing development times. With RPG we would not have achieved the same consistency and quality. We wrote CGI and HTML and it was an absolute nightmare.
