BCD Software LLC., a Quadrant Software company and an IBM i industry leader for 40 years, has announced the upcoming release of WebSmart 11, BCD’s rapid IBM i desktop and mobile web application development tool.

Responsive Templates Going mobile is no longer a question for most IBM i organizations. It's a business need. However, many organizations don’t have the resources to develop multiple applications that support different devices (e.g. desktops, tablets and smartphones). Creating responsive applications is a great solution to this problem because theyd render well on all devices while using a single code base. It’s also the standard approach for developing many of the web applications users access on a daily basis.

“WebSmart integrates well with web technologies so many of our customers are already developing responsive web applications. The new templates make it much faster to develop responsive applications by generating one code base. They can also help attract new developers by using popular web technologies,” says Marcel Sarrasin, Quadrant’s VP of Corporate Marketing.

WebSmart 11’s responsive templates are available in all three editions of WebSmart (PHP, Node.js and ILE). They use Bootstrap, the most popular open-source responsive framework, to create applications that automatically resize to fit various screen sizes.
