You know you need to modernize your IBM i applications, but where to start? In this talk, Alan will inspire you with creative examples of modernization on IBM i that provided a strong return on investment while controlling risk. Learn how to choose projects with the best return on investment and then complete them with confidence. We will lead an honest discussion of the most effective strategies. Can RPG programmers learn PHP? Yes. Can new PHP developers be integrated into an existing IT department? Yes. Both approaches have merit. See creative ways to use PHP, not only to create new GUI front ends, but to add jazzy features to existing interactive RPG programs. Please your users and businesspeople by incorporating PHP into your shop.
During a recent broadcast of this talk to COMMON Europe, one attendee said: “Great intro for how to do modernization! Thank you!”
Learning objectives:
- See how PHP and other open-source languages can satisfy business needs and today’s users.
- How to get started with PHP
- How PHP integrates with RPG and traditional resources
