The developerWorks Web site brings IBM's on demand products, technologies, and solutions together into a fully integrated developer portal. The portal is based on open standards such as XML and Java technology, and runs on WebSphere, WebSphere Portal Server, DB2, Lotus, Tivoli, and IBM System p and System x servers. Get the inside scoop in the article "A new look and a new foundation for IBM developerWorks."
