This presentation is an introduction to the IBM i Power System and a look at the IBM Midrange System's heritage from the 1970's up to correct days. From the old pre-internet AS/400 systems, through the iSeries Generation to today's modern Web2.0 IBM i Power Systems.

Do you want to learn how to write a webservice on your IBM i System?

Which 5250 Screen Emulator shall I use?
The IBM i System, like its predecessors the AS400 and iSeries, uses something called 5250 to stream its data to a terminal, often called a green screen. You've seen these clunky old terminals in black and white sci-fi movies. We still use them... sort of... we use terminal emulators (software that emulates the functions of those old terminals) to type commands into a command-line interface using windows/linux/mac whatever.

So which one is best?

IBM i Basics PDM  ( Programming development manager ) is installed as a part of the Applications Development ToolSet (ADT) on most IBM i  systems today. PDM is an environment that lets programmers and/or operators navigate three levels of the PDM: Other "work with" commands for the designated levels of PDM are as follows: WRKLIBPDM  (Library level) WRKOBJPDM  (Object level) WRKMBRPDM  (Member level) PDM allows users to use shortcuts to perform repeated tasks. Using a specified options file (via F16), one can tailor these shortcuts to meet their needs. These shortcuts are limited to two alpha numeric characters, and are entered in the input field immediately preceding the library, object, or member. These shortcuts can be repeated en masse for all entries displayed within the relevant PDM screen via F13. This reduces the time it takes to complete common tasks like assigning authority, changing object ownership and several other functions. PDM also recalls last input parameters on a user basis, making repetition and recall easy. PDM will allow a user to copy or rename libraries, objects and members. In addition, objects may be moved. It will also allow users to edit source members using the SEU function, edit display files via SDA or printer files via RLU. Some other quick commands include saving, restoring, displaying descriptions, deleting, changing, working with, running, changing text, finding a string, creating a program or service program, running a debugger, and comparing. PDM also has a filter tool (F17) which allows a user to narrow their search parameters and limit results by object, object type, attributes, a size range, or by complete or partial text.

How do we start our modernization project?

The driving idea behind modernizing a legacy IBM AS400 or iSeries application is much more than the simple task of refactoring our old RPG and CLP codebase.

Learn IBM i CL (Control Language) Programming for (a) beginners with no experience, (b) older CLP programmers looking to upgrade their CL skills and even (c) people with rudimentary programming knowledge in other languages

RPG Programming for Beginners.
Aimed at programmers that have (a) no knowledge of the RPG ILE language or (b) knowledge of older RPG versions and want to upgrade to modern ILE Web powerful RPGLE.

Using an IDE (integrated development environment ) for the IBM i Power System can seem daunting at first. It's a big upgrade for established programmers, comfortable using SEU.

But, modern IBM i professionals swear by the graphical IDE, particularly compared to older greenscreen coding environments like PDM and SEU. In this course we will cover all the main elements of using an IDE to write code in both RPGLE, CL, PF, LF , SQL, DSPF and PRTF and more.

TURNOVER Software Change Management for IBM i, iSeries and AS400 is an change management tool for RPGLE, CL and COBOL programs. Come with me while we install it, use it and demonstrate some of its basic functions.

In this course, we will cover all aspects of creating a website with WordPress. From reserving a domain name, choosing a website hosting account, installing WordPress, adding plugins, and choosing a theme for your site.

You have already learned how to get started with WordPress, now it's time to take things further with added challenges with the end goal to be proficient in building Powerful WordPress Websites
