Lab - Using RPG OA and HTML5 Frameworks for Mobile Development - Alex Roytman
Want to find out what it takes to build Mobile apps on the IBM i? Don’t know where to begin? Come to this lab session to learn about the different approaches to Mobile application development and how HTML5 and RPG Open Access can help in this effort. We will build a working mobile application from scratch.
Requirements: Bring a laptop. No special tools are necessary. You will only need a browser (Internet Explorer 7+, Chrome, or Firefox). We will use a cloud-based development environment and Mobile emulator.
Developing Amazing Mobile Applications For The IBM i - Eamon Musallam
The IBM i platform is ideally suited to serve mobile applications, but where do we start? This presentation will provide the basics of what is required to create successful mobile applications and move quickly into details that will help you deploy user-friendly, robust and secure applications to mobile devices.
We will take a look at the different devices out there today, and how to leverage technologies like RPG OA and HTML 5 to harness existing business logic and present compelling touch based user interfaces such as those used on Apple iPhones, Android devices and tablets like the iPad.
This session will also cover best practices to ensure that as business requirements change and grow, developers can keep up with the corresponding technical implementation, through agile and simplified development practices. Finally we will take a look at trends emerging in 2012, and how they affect the IBM i community.
About the speakers:
Eamon Musallam has been involved in the IBM i community for 16 years. As Product Marketing Manager at looksoftware, Eamon has worked closely with many IBM i customers to assist them with their application modernization requirements & successful implementations. He has been a frequent speaker at COMMON, DevCon, OCEAN and other IBM i community events, and has authored articles in several System i publications on the subject of application modernization
Alex Roytman is an innovator in the field of legacy application modernization, with a concentration on creating rich browser interfaces on the IBM i (iSeries / AS400) system. His company, Profound Logic Software, provides an innovative graphical user interface platform for ILE RPG developers on the IBM i. Profound Logic has facilitated the modernization of many millions of lines of legacy RPG code, and serviced thousands of customers, including prominent enterprises such as Nintendo, Disney, Nike, Pepsi, FedEx, Volvo, Sony, General Electric, and Warner Brothers. Most recently, Alex and his team have worked closely with IBM to define a new era for the IBM i platform – an era where a graphical user interface is native to the system. Through a joint offering (RPG OA from IBM and Profound UI from Profound Logic), developers can use sophisticated design tools to create native IBM i user interface objects to modernize and extend existing legacy code. This new approach has proven to be 10 to 20 times more effective compared to traditional application modernization.
