Abstract:
The adoption of PHP in i5/ OS provides the ability to develop customized web applications that provide dynamic content hosted on i5/ OS, including DB2 data and native i5/ OS resources. Along with MySQL, these two open community technologies provide the ability to implement an open community based web development and deployment stack to facilitate the deployment of cutting-edge open community solutions, such as customer relationship management (CRM), wiki(s), blogs, bulletin-boards, etc.

This workshop will give you an opportunity to become familiar with both PHP and MySQL. The first section will focus on PHP and the ability to use PHP to develop web applications leveraging i5/ OS resources. The second section will look at MySQL: how to install it in i5/ OS and how to setup/ configure open community applications in i5/ OS. The format of the workshop will be both lecture and hands-on and you will be provided with opportunities to develop customized PHP applications as well as implement open community solutions.
