Given the interest in the new tools from Rational for developing your IBM i solutions. Combined with the lack of easy to understand information, we have decided to launch a half day demo on the tools. This can take you through the following aspects and can either be done against your system or here in our offices. It aims to provide a better understanding of why moving to IBM Rational Developer for System i (RDi) or to IBM Rational Business Developer for SOA Construction (RBD for SOA), can help you really move forward in your application development. Add in the power of using Host Access Transformation Server (HATS), to not only bring your screens up to date but also quickly produce web services from your application, and its a powerful combination of tools The areas covered are below, if you want to look at other aspects then please contact us at info@morpheus.co.uk or use the same address to book the demo.
