PBD and EGL

Started building open source and commercial solutions for Java-based modernization in 1999

Early adopter of Visual Age for Java, Eclipse, and WDSC ("wrote the book" on the latter two)

Started writing about EGL in 2005 Began pushing the multi-tiered EGL/RPG

concept in 2006 Advocate EGL as the primary interface to the i Gave the first hands-on lab for EGL at an i-

related conference just this week

EGL Projects

Articles, sessions, labs Wrote the business logic for the first public EGL

application, the scheduling application for the Rational Software Developer Conference This was a unique accomplishment, since it used

the Rich UI in conjunction with an i back end Working with a large i ISV to web enable their

product line using thin client EGL to access their existing back end logic

Blog - "EGL and i" on EGL Cafe Rich UI book due in December

The Thin Client Interface(AJAX optional)

The Service Interface, Including Rich UI

ILEBusinessLogic

The point here is that regardless of the interface, the business logic stays the same. And with the concept of a dynamic array of records, even the EGL library function can remain the same, leaving only the interface to change, which is the ultimate goal of a UI independent application development environment.

The Next Generation of Apps: Rich Web Services

EGL allows you to create user friendly mashups by combining ILE business logic, SQL queries, RESTful services, EGL widgets, third-party utilities and custom libraries.

The plumbing work is removed, letting you concentrate on the creative aspect.

The Next Generation is Here Today
