How do I develop applications for the System i? What’s RPG? What’s WDSC? For programmers who are new to the System i, the Developer’s BootCamp is a must! This three-day workshop will introduce the development tools and languages commonly used to create applications for the platform. Attendees will learn to define databases with DDS, automate processes with CL, interact with databases through SQL, and write complex RPG Programs. Attendees will learn basic operating system commands as well as a quick tour through system security. As key technologies for use by a developer, the client based development tools, WebSphere Development Studio Client, will be used as the basis for most discussion and demonstration. There will be a brief overview of the older tools such as PDM, SEU and SDA that are used in some development shops.

To ensure the best student learning environment, this workshop is presented as a combination of lecture, demo and hands-on labs.

The workshop will deliver the following topics:
Day One: Introduction to System i, Basic Operations and Security, Command Language, Using the Eclipse based WDSc Development Tool.
Day Two: WDSc Lab, Intro to DDS, SQL, and RPG SQL
Day Three: RPG Lab, RPG Continued, Screen Design

This session is essential for any developer new to the System i.
