Welcome, developers!
WebSphere Application Server, Rational Developer for i, Lotus Forms, Tivoli Directory Integrator....
You'll
find no shortage of IBM products that can help you develop and manage effective software solutions -- but we realize all
of these choices can get, well, a little overwhelming. So we've come up with a new resource to help you evaluate IBM's software
offerings: Our Download,
try, or buy page highlights the entire range of options for test-driving our products. Download a trial, log in to a
hosted (online) trial, play in a sandbox, check out some beta code, or dabble in the cloud environment. All of your choices
are clearly displayed for each product -- just click on the appropriate checkmark to get started. (Bonus: This week, we've
added a dozen new products to the page, including DB2 Express-C 9.7 and several editions of Rational Team Concert V2.) Want
to find out where a particular product fits into one of our sandbox environments? Take a look at our new product-to-sandbox
matrix. And did we mention that all of our evaluation options are no charge?
Of course, our main page is
the ideal place to catch the latest resources on developerWorks,
and this week's features include several green computing articles:
Can't find something you're after? Let us know. Our job is to make your
job easier.
Until next week,
John Swanson and the developerWorks
editorial team
