System iNetwork

The quick path to integrating your System i with Web applications

Internet applications are on lots of wish lists, but on few delivered lists. In this Demo Booth, ASNA's Roger Pence takes you through the basics of getting data to and from a browser with your System i data. Roger shows you the basics of ASNA’s Visual RPG (AVR) and its System i database engine, DataGate. After a quick overview of ASP.NET, he shows you how to write a quick browser-based query against your System i data.

After this session, you'll be able to understand how quickly you can put your green-screen RPG skills to work in .NET. It shows you how easy System i database access can be from .NET and that you can quickly be productive with modern environments such as .NET and Visual Studio.
