Progress Offers Free Tools for Next Generation of Business Application Developers
Progress

Developer Kit: Classroom Edition, a downloadable application development
toolkit for the next generation of business application developers. In
an effort to expand their knowledge of business application development
and foster growth, the toolkit gives students, new developers and future
entrepreneurs free access to a package of powerful application
development tools that are simple to learn and use.

application developers is expected to skyrocket by 32 percent from 2010

one of the decade's largest increases for any occupation.1

technology students, recent graduates and new developers can hone their
skills, developing business applications for any device, including a
wide range of mobile platforms.
