padGetting Started with WebSphere Development Studio for iSeries

by Brian W. Kelly

Book Description

If you want to learn how to write RPG programs from scratch that work with the output of the WebSphere Studio Development environment, this is the book for you. This book is teaches how to separate your Logic from your User Interface. The book teaches a number of separation techniques that are designed to help the developer create Web based RPG programs from scratch. This book teaches the programmer who is proficient in green screen techniques how to write an RPG program that is usable on the Web. By demonstrating six different methods of splitting the user interface from the program logic, the end result is an RPG program that is independent of its user interface. Thus, with little to no changes, the RPG code in the logic solution is usable with the Web interface that can be built with the WDSc Eclipse client using WebSphere Studio.

This book will help you to:
• Experience a tremendous increase in productivity
• Use the development techniques IBM has made available
• Separate User Interface from Business Logic
• Use SDA to Create Display Panels for Applications
• Build Web applications from scratch
• Learn how to prepare for WebSphere Development Studio with a case studies approach
