Is this considered to be a replacement for RPGsp?

[Profound Logic]

Question:
Is this considered to be a replacement for RPGsp or supersede it?

Answer:
It depends. Most tasks that you were able to accomplish with RPGsp can now be done with this environment. The underlying development approach is different in the 2 products.

RPGsp is CGI-based, which means developers use the stateless Web paradigm for creating applications. For developers with prior Web experience, it is quite natural, but for someone whose background is primarily RPG, there may be a bit of a learning curve to get their head around concepts like Query String Parameters, HTTP protocols, HTML, JavaScript, AJAX, POST vs. GET, cross-browser compatibility, etc.

Profound UI encapsulates all Web concepts by using the traditional top-down RPG paradigm. It is made for the business application developer, who would prefer to have a platform like Profound UI do all the Web plumbing, rather than coding and understanding it on their own. For the traditional RPG developer, this is ideal, because with Profound UI, the RPG code looks pretty much the same as if they were to develop a green-screen app -- but now they are creating Rich UI apps.

We recommend Profound UI for the typical RPG shop, where developers are used to the top-down ExFmt style of programming.
