What is WebSmart

WebSmart is the Proven & Award Winning System i & multi-platform rapid Web development tool, from BCD. WebSmart comes in two editions:

WebSmart ILE helps you produce native System i-centric CGI web applications that access DB2400, MS SQL and MySql databases. The apps run in the native Apache HTTP web server shipped with every System i.

WebSmart PHP helps you produce PHP applications that run on multiple platforms- System i, Windows, Linux or Unix and access databases such as DB2/400, MySQL and others.

Both editions of WebSmart let you extend or develop new web applications for any industry or application. You can create B2B, B2C and e-Commerce sites including on-line ordering, inquiries and maintenance programs, and implement browser-based or SOA (web services) applications. And WebSmart fully supports AJAX so you can build rich web content applications that behave like Windows apps.

If you are looking for a popular alternative to IBM’s WebSphere, then take a close look at WebSmart as it is significantly easier to learn and uses way fewer resources than WebSphere.
