Go under the hood of Web portals: what they are and how they payoff; portal standards; technologies, and vendor options for building them (including the WebSphere portal family). Understand how to reap the benefits portals have to offer in productivity, adaptability, integration, collaboration, navigation, personalization, and more. See a sample open-source portal (Jetspeed-2) in action and get advice on portal design and defining your own portal roadmap. Bring home the basics on installation, setup, and portlet development options. Learn how to deploy existing Web applications as portlets, plus get tips on administration, security, content integration, application integration and getting started with your own portal.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Setup an open-source Web portal for iSeries.
2. Add existing web applications to a portal.
3. Plan a portal project on open standards.
