Developing Mobile Apps that utilize Cloud Web Services

This webinar recording shows how to use Zend Studio 10 and Zend Server 6 to develop a new class of mobile apps that connect to cloud based Web Services. The new Zend Studio 10 supports the development of mobile apps that can run as native apps on Apple, Android, and Windows Mobile devices. These mobile apps can connect to cloud based REST Web Services that utilize the Zend Server Gateway with a simple drag and drop user interface. Built on the popular Zend Framework, the Zend Server Gateway provides a simple way to developer Restful and RPC service with built in support for authentication, data validation and other common services.

Zend Server 6 - Application Centric UI

Zend Server 6's brand new UI introduces several new features and improvements to Zend's set of php tools. One of the greatest improvements driving this version is Zend Server's ability to apply features and filter information based on applications introduced into Zend Server. This improvement comes into play in many facets of the UI and Zend Server's functionality and allows the user great flexibility in defining application-specific rules for Zend Monitor, Page Cache and other systems. In this Webinar we demonstrate some of these capabilities and show how to leverage this powerful tool to focus your monitoring needs on the problems and applications that are actually important to you.

The PHP Toolkit from Zend and IBM

PHP applications on IBM i have a great way to access resources such as RPG and COBOL programs, system commands, data areas, and more, using a free, flexible, open source toolkit, supported by Zend. Using IBM's XMLSERVICE toolkit on the back end, it's all open source, enabling a high level of quality and functionality delivered by Zend, IBM, and IBM i community members who take the initiative. In this webinar you learn, how your older PHP applications can use the new toolkit with minimal changes, thanks to the Compatibility Wrapper (CW), developed for Zend by Alan Seiden. You'll also see, how to optimize performance, develop PHP on your laptop (Windows, Linux) or in the "cloud" and deploy to the IBM i. Last but not least you'll receive suggestions for security, troubleshooting as well as tips and tricks to work with your IBM i in new ways.

Let's Talk: Efficient Communication for PHP and Android

While mobile devices have evolved dramatically, their increased availability to consumers has added strain to networks and service providers are still struggling to make capacity meet demand. To keep hardware costs down, developers must now pinch bytes of bandwidth as they did with memory back in the earlier days of computing. This presentation will review the process of building a PHP-based REST web service to be consumed by a native Android application. Some of the general concepts it presents are also applicable to other mobile platforms such as iOS. It focuses mainly on handling data serialization and compression in both environments.

ZF2 for ZF1 Developers

Zend Framework 2 is here! But where do you start? Even the most seasoned of Zend Framework 1 veterans can struggle trying to comprehend the sweeping changes between Zend Framework 1 and Zend Framework 2.
This session runs you through some of the core components of Zend Framework 2 by (very loosely) comparing them to their ZF1 equivalents. Firstly we cover some core concepts, like bootstrapping, routing and namespacing. Then we discover the “Holy Trinity” of ZF2’s core; namely the Module Manager, Event Manager and Service Manager. Finally, we take a look at some individual and widely used components, like ZendDb, ZendForm and ZendTranslate.

A Tale Of Two Applications

At one point in time, Chris Tankersley was the technical lead on two different projects. One was an application his company was purchasing from a vendor that was being written in Java (and had previously been written in .NET by another vendor, who then switched to Java, and then abandoned the project), and one was being built in-house with PHP on the IBM i. They were the same product for two different product lines that they offered, but time constraints forced them to build two products in tandem. In the end, the PHP application was completed and delivered to end-users in about 7 months from start to finish, while the former project languished. In this webinar, we compare the two projects in the tools and technologies that were used to integrate with the IBM i backend as well as programming.

Building Testable PHP Applications

There is lots of info out there on how to use testing tools but very little info on how to build your application in such a way that it can easily be tested. This session will cover strategies that can be used to shape your application in such a way that writing tests becomes easy instead of punishment detail.
Learn about loosely-coupled architectures, dependency injection and why your tests should never touch a real database or call a real web-accessible API during testing.

Reface IBM i Green Screens or Rewrite Them with PHP - Which Should You Choose?

Green screens are the key reason why many people perceive the IBM i as outdated. It's not a question of whether you should provide most of your IBM i applications with a web GUI, but how you should do it.
In this webinar, Marcel Sarrasin, BCD’s product marketing manager, presents two complementary approaches designed to meet your short and long term modernization needs. You’ll learn:
  • The pros and cons of web enabling RPG applications vs. rewriting them with PHP
  • How to deliver web applications that utilize your existing RPG skills and code
  • How to give all your green screen applications a web GUI with minimal effort
  • How to develop fully-functioning PHP web applications in minutes
In the last part of this presentation, Alan Seiden, PHP Community Leader, shows you how to leverage existing RPG and COBOL code using the new open source PHP toolkit for IBM i. He also explains the requirements to run PHP on the IBM i.
