The F5 iRule Editor is the industry's first integrated code editor for network devices. What does that mean for you? Well, it means that you are no longer constrained to a simple edit window (or vi for you hard core geeks out there). You can now develop iRules with full syntax highlighting, colorization, textual auto-complete, integrated help, etc. You get the point...
What are you waiting for? Click on the Discussions tab to download it and give it a whirl and see how your iRule skills improve!

So just when you thought writing iControl applications was easy enough, we're shooting on making it easier for you. How easy you ask? So easy in fact, that in just a mere three lines of code you'll have full access to all the iControl methods.
The iControl Assembly is a .NET Assembly and Java jar file that you can include in your .NET/Java iControl applications. The embedded Interfaces class takes care of all the grunt work that goes along with writing iControl apps. In the past integrating iControl into an application entailed compiling wsdl (either directly with wsdl.exe or indirectly with a Web Reference), writing certificate validation logic, dealing with UserCredential objects, and hooking them all together.

For those who don't know, Microsoft has made available a new command line shell and task-based scripting technology that is targeted at IT administrators to help them gain control and automation of system tasks. Windows PowerShell is integrated into Exchange Server 2007, System Center Operations Manager 2007, System Center Data Protection Manager V2, and System Center Virtual Machine Manager so I figured, why not integrate it with BIG-IP via iControl as well!

pyControl is a Python-based library that integrates with F5's BIG-IP iControl management API.

So you've narrowed down the business case for your new application and are ready to plan your deployment. You will more than likely front your application with an appliance to handle high-availability and application security and more often than not it'll be a BIG-IP that you end up using. If you've made that choice, then we are there to help you in tweaking all the knobs to make your application run in tip-top shape. Over at the F5 Solution Center, F5 has produced a series of Deployment guides that cover the likes of Lotus, Citrix, BEA, Microsoft, Oracle, Siebel, and SAP.

It's 2 am and you just got a call about performance problems. Pull out your Blackberry, open this app, and take a look to see what is going on with your BIG-IP... All before getting out of bed.
This application will allow you to log in to and monitor your BIG-IP from your Blackberry.

Did you know that F5's FirePass SSL-VPN has a client-side programming interface? We have customers using it embedded in biometric thumb readers and inside vending machines. You may think: "Wow, that's cool but how does it help me?". Well, if you are a mobile worker who just happens to be lucky enough to be using FirePass, then this project, along with the Firepass Windows Tray Client, might give you some ideas.

The iControl APIs work as-advertised in most languages and development environments, but each development environment has special issues and needs, while each language has language-specific enhancements you can utilize.
