Please Note: This class is subject to a ten percent increase. Please contact a TrainingPage representative for verification of price increase.

Description:

This course introduces you to EGL (Enterprise Generation Language), a 4GL well-suited to the rapid development of Web applications using either browser-based GUIs or traditional "green-screen" text-based user interfaces (TUIs). The course also provides an introduction to JSF (JavaServer Faces) and shows how JSF and EGL can work together to provide a rapid development environment for Web applications. The course further shows how EGL can be used to easily integrate relational database access into Web applications.
