Great Product
Date:January 24, 2011
RBD is a great all around product. It's versatility is incredible. It can be used to generate batch COBOL for the mainframe, build TUI applications, web JSF projects, and finally Rich Web 2.0 applications. All of this can be done with one IDE, using a single language called EGL (Enterprise Generation Language). With RBD a single developer can do it all. Extensive knowledge into each domain is not necessary. Wizards and simple UI built into the product make it easy for web developers to create COBOL applications or COBOL developers to create rich Web 2.0 applications. Any organization would no doubt benefit from using EGL as their development language of choice.
Pros: Increased productivity

RBD Excellent
Date:January 12, 2011
RBD is an excellent development platform and EGL is a great language for both legacy and new development. EGL integrates easily with Java & Javascript as well as COBOL, RPG, Assembler and other legacy languages.
Now that EGL is going open source, I'm extremely confident in recommending this tool to all of my customers.
Pros: Increased productivity, application modernization, new development
