Webinar: Exploring AI Developer Tools for OpenEdge

Modern AI developer tools are changing how enterprise applications are understood, extended, and modernized. In this webinar, Mike Fechner gives a practical overview of today’s most relevant AI-assisted development tools - including Windsurf, Claude Code, Google Antigravity, and other emerging solutions - with a clear focus on OpenEdge development. You’ll learn how these tools can help when working with large and long-lived OpenEdge codebases, for example by supporting: - faster code comprehension and analysis - refactoring and modernization tasks - generation of ABL-related artifacts - reasoning across complex application structures A key part of the session is understanding where these tools work well - and where they don’t. We’ll look at limitations, context handling, model strengths, and how well different tools integrate into editors and IDEs. What we will cover: - Core architectural concepts behind modern AI developer tools - Tool and model comparison for code understanding, refactoring, and AI-assisted development - Practical patterns and best practices for OpenEdge developers and architects This webinar is designed for OpenEdge developers, software architects, and technical leads who want to evaluate AI-assisted tools realistically and apply them effectively in professional environments. As the first session in our 2026 AI webinar series, it sets the stage for deeper technical follow-up sessions throughout the year.
