EGL Community Edition now availalble
IBM has released a community edition of its EGL language. This edition is geared for entry level learning such as for colleges and universities. This is a great language that is a natural successor to COBOL. Applications can be created and deployed to mainframes as batch applications, or to Java web applications servers running on Linux, Windows or Unix.
The commercial product is Rational Business Developer, of which EGL CE is a subset of. Rational Business Developer itself is the successor to Visual Age Generator for Java and Cobol.
