iSeries Web Development - State Of The Art Options
With Don Denoncourt

Practical Web Services - Don Denoncourt provides an overview of web services technologies and practical advice on tooling, strategies, and deployment options. This presentation will also cover how to simplify Web Services and SOA with a compelling alternative known as Representational State Transfer. Unlike SOAP-based web services, it is easy to implement a REST-based web service with RPG.

Building Upscale Web Apps with RPG and AJAX - Don Denoncourt overviews techniques, strategies, and frameworks required to provide a rich user interface for RPG-based business applications.

Web-enabling RPG with Java Server Faces and Groovy and Grails - In this presentation Don Denoncourt will introduce you to Java Server Faces (JSF) and then demonstrate how to write a Java Server Faces front-end to the Acme Orders RPG application written by Scott Klement. Don will finish the presentation by showing how to write a Groovy and Grails front-end to the same Acme Orders application.

RAD Web Development with Open Source Tools - Are you undecided about what technology to use for Web development? Discover the Grails open-source framework that provides rapid application development for Web applications. This presentation will show you how to generate a maintenance application for legacy System i files in 5 minutes. You will see how Grails is built on top of the best-of-breed Java frameworks. This session will describe how to program Grails with the intuitive JVM language called Groovy. You will also see how to use Eclipse, WDSc, or RDi SOA as your IDE. Finally, the seminar also describes how to deploy Grails to any Web application server (such as WebSphere or Tomcat) on your favorite platform.

Modernizing a System i Database: Your Key Asset - This presentation will explain why you need to modernize your database. It will overview SQL’s data definition language and then explain how to convert your DDS-files to SQL-tables using both freely available and commercial tools. Don will cover the DDS-to-DDL gotchas and then overview how to move your business rules from RPG to your database.
