Our May meeting is tomorrow at the Murray City Auditorium as usual at 11 am. Bill Hunter will be presenting tomorrow about RPG Free, the free format coding standard.
Here is a short outline of what he will be covering.
Ammon Lee came and talked to us about the functionality of WordPress and the basics of getting started. FYI, WordPress does run on the IBM i. Have any of you tried it? Let us know!
Alright! Winter is now over and it’s Spring Fever!
Time for the new, refreshing change of pace. This Wednesday, April 10th, in the Murray City Auditorium at 11 am, we’ll be instructed by Ammon Lee, the webmaster for Alpine School District.
No matter what server a company is running for their business, these days they also need a web site. The bigger the company, the more complex that becomes. Ammon manages a site with over 100 schools and departments that have content for the site. He uses WordPress to accomplish that.
Here is his description of what he is going to be presenting:
Intro to WordPress
Learn about one of the most successful and used open source applications for building a website. In this presentation, we will cover many of the features that have made Wordpress such a popular platform for webpage creation and management. We will also be covering everything you need to set up your very own Wordpress installation, and build a very professional looking website with little to no coding experience in less than an hour. In addition, will discuss current ways people, companies, and public organizations are using Wordpress in various different types of applications.

Allyn Walsh gave us an detailed update about the February Power7+ announcements.

This announcement also introduced a new midpoint system, the Power 760. He talked about what POWER7+ can provide for your work loads, the latest advancements for IO attachment options and how IBM i can further exploit these innovations with Technology Refresh 6 (TR6).

He has over 38 years in the IT industry, the last 21 years working with the AS/400 – Power Systems platform. He is a regular speaker at the Systems Technology Group University, Power Systems Technical conferences and User Groups. He has published a number of articles on the HMC and POWER systems management. He has co-authored several Redbooks, such as ‘IBM i 7.1 Technical Overview’ and ‘LPAR Simplification Tools Handbook’. His current focus areas include PowerHA for IBM i, Power Systems hardware, upgrade/migration planning, Virtualization on Power, HMC and POWER Firmware management.
At our GSLMUG User Group meeting this week, Christoph Heinrich taught us the principles of Agile Application Lifecycle Management and how it can benefit IBM i application development teams. See the presentation in the video below.
Bill Hunter gave a very good presentation about the basics of ILE RPG on the IBM i. We appreciated his insight and the additional comments from the rest of the group. See this video for a review and leave your comments and suggestions to inspire the rest of us.
