Article ID: 2720
Posted December 15th, 1998
The market for AS/400 Web development products is growing rapidly. IBM is promoting the AS/400 as a Web-centric platform, and every month AS/400 vendors announce more new products in this area. If you're getting ready to move your business onto the Internet, an intranet, or an extranet, there is a wide variety of products already available that can help.
To get you started, here's a compilation of AS/400 products that can help you with Web communications, Web site management, Web application development, electronic commerce, and Web data publishing. The products are sorted alphabetically with a brief description of each product and each vendor's URL. Because most products perform multiple Internet functions, they are not grouped by capability.
