RPG and .NET - Oil and Water? Or Recipe for Success!

Many challenges plague today's mixed-mode .NET and RPG organizations because RPG and .NET developers do not collaborate or work well together. And the thought of allowing any .NET developer to update DB2 production data is enough to make any IT manager tremble. Often .NET developers end up duplicating all the RPG business logic and validation rules that have been protecting a company's DB2 data for the last 10 years inside .NET applications, leading to inconsistent, inefficient, and hard to manage development procedures.

Attend this webcast and learn how to avoid duplicating source code by enabling RPG and .NET developers to define and maintain business logic and validation rules in a single location that will be enforced by .NET and RPG applications alike.

Attendees will also learn how to increase developer productivity, improve the accuracy of production data, and provide .NET developers with access to native i5/OS real-time features like data areas, spool files, OS commands, RPG/COBOL/CL APIs, the IFS, and more.
