Developing Internet Applications With Forte[tm] 4GL

( FT-330 )

Course Description

The Developing Internet Applications With Forte[tm] 4GL course provides students with the knowledge required to build enterprise internet applications. Students are taught to use the TOOL object-oriented language to build both application logic servers and Web access servers. For application servers, students are taught to code business logic using database interaction, exception handling, and transaction handling. For HTML clients, students are taught how to create HTML templates and to code Web access servers. Web access servers allow an application to accept HTTP requests and to dynamically populate HTML pages with data from the application servers. Students are taught how to manage client state using HTTP cookies, and how to manage sessions using Forte 4GL WebEnterprises session management capabilities. The course also explains how to partition and deploy applications.
