Enterprise Generation Language (EGL)
The objective of the EGL lab for IBM i developers is to have the students work with an EGL application that uses an
IBM i DB2 UDB. The lab is intended to allow hands on experience using the RDI SOA workbench with Rational Business Developer.
It shows how easy it is to re-use DB2 UDB data definitions and record definitions in an EGL web application.
Most of the web pages for the application are generated by the EGL Data Access Application wizard.
One page is created from scratch by the student to show how the Page Designer tool helps building powerful web pages.

Introduction to IBM i for Computer Professionals
Learn the fundamentals of the IBM i - an Operating System that runs on IBM Power Systems.
This Operating System was originally known as OS/400 running on AS/400 hardware, and the hardware later became
known as iSeries and Power Systems. This Operating System provides a computing basis to access hardware resources
for advanced business and e-business applications. Gain a technical understanding of IBM i and develop basic
skills on how to interact with IBM i in a business environment.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Utilize the IBM i value proposition in a business enterprise
- Define features and advantages of the IBM i architecture
- Appreciate the advantages of logical partitioning on a Power System
- Understand basic IBM i operations and commands
- Comprehend concepts of integrated functions like security, backup and recovery available with IBM i
- Explain fundamentals of the integrated relational database management system DB2 UDB for IBM i
and the use of the integrated file system
- Implement concepts of IBM i work management to optimize performance in an IBM i environment

PHP and MySQL on IBM i
The adoption of PHP and MySQL on IBM i opens up new and exciting possibilities for web development and deployment.
PHP on the platform enables Power Systems shops to develop web-based applications that leverage IBM i as well as DB2
for IBM i resources to provide dynamic content. The addition of MySQL supports the ability to deploy a wide range
of open source applications, such as SugarCRM and MediaWiki. This lecture/lab will provide you with an opportunity
learn about these exciting technologies on Power Systems as well as work with the technologies to develop applications
and deploy existing open source applications.

Web Services With RPG and COBOL on IBM i
This course covers an introduction to Web services and how existing RPG and COBOL applications can call Web Services (consume)
and provide a Web Service interface (producer). This allows RPG or Cobol applications to be accessed from other platforms and
from customers, suppliers and business partners! Web services are the preferred way of integrating your applications
internally and externally across different hardware, operating systems and programming languages.
