As you may be aware, Profound UI’s database-driven components can save a lot of work! Using these components, you can build dropdowns, grids, charts, etc., over your DB2 data without having to write any manual code.

One of the more popular topics of inquiry from our customers is the ability to easily offer mobile solutions using our product. While an application created with Profound UI can be opened within a mobile browser and resized accordingly, mobile users of this current generation have become more accustomed to installing and using native applications from their device that also interact with a device’s hardware features (camera, touch screen, gyroscope, etc.) However, mobile devices come in many different forms and flavors, and learning all the different development environments for each one can be a time consuming task.

Is it hard to imagine a life where you reach another milestone every day? Every day you meet or exceed a goal, and are proud of yourself? That’s what my life is like, right now. Every day, it seems, I accomplish something I once saw as impossible.

On January 5th, 2013, I had a spinal cord injury that has left me a paraplegic. This blog entry is a continuation of my journey toward recovery.

Life can be very strange sometimes. On Sunday, January 13^th, I was so weak that I needed to take a nap after eating half of a bowl of rice krispies. Think about what a strange symptom that is. I was in the Neuro ICU at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, and my nurse called the doctor urgently. They decided to do emergency surgery that ended up saving my life. They knew that it was necessary, in part, because I could not eat a bowl of rice krispies. Life is strange.

Hello Folks!

A new video released by COMMON has made us look forward to attending this year's COMMON Annual Meeting and Expo even more than before, if that's possible!

Profound UI is a comprehensive Web 2.0 user interface framework. It has features similar to other popular JavaScript frameworks you may have heard about, such as jQuery, ExtJS, or Dojo. However, unlike most other JavaScript frameworks, Profound UI is designed to be driven by a server-side language, such as RPG, rather than client-side JavaScript. This way, RPG developers can be productive right away in creating functional Web 2.0 applications. They can do most tasks using just RPG code, while HTML, JavaScript, and CSS would only be required for advanced functionality.

Profound UI’s chart widget allows you to create a variety of different charts driven from either an RPG program or a direct SQL request to a database file. In Profound UI version 4.2.2. some new features were added to the chart widget allowing you to detect if a chart section was clicked. A new property onchartclick is available to fire any client side JavaScript and the chart response property allows you to send a response back to your RPG program for server side handling.
