iSeries Guru and author Joe Pluta will be having a one-day seminar
on April 7th in Ft. Washington(PA) at the Ft. Washington Holiday Inn (the
usual place for the WAM-DVCUG seminars).

Joe is very well known for his knowledge of integrating WebSphere,
RPG and iSeries. He is also a well known author for his texts on Eclipse
and Websphere and making things work with legacy applications in a web
environment. Once again, we've got one of the best the industry has to
offer and you're NOT going to want to miss this one!

The sessions will be:

Everything You Want to Know about Eclipse & WDSc

Eclipse and WDSC are the latest buzzwords in application development these
days, but sometimes it's not exactly clear how these topics relate to one
another. This session explains all of the details of the Eclipse IDE,
including how it went from IBM to Open Source. You'll be introduced to the
many features of Eclipse, including a short demonstration of the Eclipse
workbench. Next, you'll learn how Eclipse can be extended, and how IBM used
this capability to develop the WebSphere Studio line of products. You'll
also be introduced to the various products in the WebSphere Studio line, up
to and including WebSphere Studio Development Client for iSeries, or WDSC.
This session will explain which features each product has, and end with a
brief demonstration of WDSC.



WebSphere & RPG Together: The Best of Both Worlds

Whenever they hear the word "WebSphere", most people think of web-enabled
applications, and more importantly, most people think "Java". The idea is
that unless you resort to CGI programming, you can't use RPG on the web.
And while it's true that you need some Java to develop with WebSphere, the
amount is almost entirely up to you. In this session, you will learn about
the various architectures available for creating web-enabled applications,
either by web-enabling existing applications or writing new ones from
scratch. The emphasis will be on using your RPG skills in conjunction with
just a minimal amount of Java to create powerful applications. Without
having to resort to CGI programming or code generators you can write
applications that take advantage of the browser's easy interface and RPG's
unbeatable ability to create business logic, while at the same time
providing you with an introduction to Java programming that you can build on
as time allows.



These are power packed sessions and will cover a lot of real estate. There
will be a signup letter posted shortly, but in the mean time, if you cannot
wait, you can email KB at kbsoni@... for details, fees, etc.,

Be sure you have a seat in what's going to be desireable sessions.

So stay tuned. More to come very shortly.
