2E Developer for Websydian Express
What is 2E Developer
2E Developer for Websydian Express provides you with the means to develop business processes, which can be deployed in Websydian Express using 2E.
At the core of the 2E Developer is a set of APIs which is used when you want to either write data to a webpage, access data entered by a user on a webpage, or access data in the Websydian Express database (e.g. User/Session information).
Definitions for these APIs are delivered in a 2E model, together with a copylist, which can be used to import the definitions into your own 2E model.
The business processes developed in 2E are deployed using the administration interface just like business processes developed in RPG or using the Plex development tool.
Read more about how to use the administration interface in the Guides and in the Reference documentation for the interface.
