On-Demand Industry Expert webinars
Bob Cozzi |
If you have not looked at 5250 green screen web enablement tools in the last few years you'd be surprised at how far they've come. With visual development environments, simpler deployment and endless options to add new functionality it's easy to see why they've shed the old "Lipstick on a pig" moniker.
Join industry expert, Bob Cozzi, who in the first half of this webcast will explain the:
- Evolution of IBM i web enablement technologies
- Key features to look for in web enablement solutions
- Importance of moving away from green screens
In the second half of this webcast Marcel Sarrasin, BCD's product manager, will show you how you can effectively move away from green screens by web enabling them with Presto.

Susan Gantner |
In this recording Susan Gantner, application modernization consultant and founder of Partner400, will explore five reasons to use SQL in your RPG or PHP programs that will help you understand:
- Things you can do (or do much easier) with SQL but can't do with native RPG I/O
- Why SQL is a transferable skill set
- The positive impact of SQL on database maintenance
In the second half of the webinar, Marcel Sarrasin, BCD's Product Manager, will show you the fastest way to create IBM i web applications or reports with embedded SQL by doing live demos of WebSmart and Clover.

Scott Klement |
RPG is the greatest language in the world for writing business rules. Modern RPG code should be written in a modular, reusable fashion to make it easier to debug, maintain and reuse in other RPG programs and web applications. The user interface of today's world is after all a browser-based interface. But do you know which RPG coding technique you should be using? In the first half of this webcast Scott Klement will describe three techniques for making routines available to web apps, and help you determine which technique is right for you. In the second half of this webcast, Duncan Kenzie will show you how to reuse RPG code in WebSmart to make developing PHP or RPG CGI web applications even faster.

Craig Pelkie |
It's not a question of should you be providing your RPG and COBOL apps
as GUIs on the web but a question of how. One of the first decisions
you are faced with is whether to web enable them with datastream refacing or
RPG OA technologies or to rebuild them as new web applications. Craig
Pelkie will provide insight to these questions: What are the pros
and cons of web enabling and rebuilding? Which programming languages and technologies
are the best fit for RPG programmers for modernizing? What are the benefits
of writing stateless web applications? Duncan Kenzie will
show you how you can instantly web enable your existing IBM i green screen
applications without changing the underlying code with Presto and add Web 2.0
functionality. He will also demonstrate how you can build stateless RPG
and PHP web applications with WebSmart in minutes that can leverage RPG and
COBOL code.

PHP to power millions of web sites and applications. Scott
Klement, technical editor for System iNews, will explain in more
detail what MySQL is, how it works and and how you can use it on the IBM
i. Duncan
Kenzie,
President and CTO of BCD Technical Services, will show you how WebSmart ILE
and WebSmart PHP's integrated database support and intelligent templates enable
you to build web applications in ILE RPG or PHP using the native DB2 database.
