Duration

Half day. 2 hours for the virtual sessions

Description

Today development tools should be based on open standards such as Eclipse, Apache Tomcat, and Geronimo. They provide an attractive, robust, free of charge development environment for creating and deploying web applications. However, an alternative development environment has emerged that embraces the innovation of the open source development model while providing the stability of commercial development tools.

Community development tools from IBM are based on the same open standards as open source tools while providing enhanced functional capabilities and broader platform support for small teams just getting started or working on proof of concepts. IBM community tools include a development package for Eclipse, WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition, DB2® Express-C and a collaboration environment called Rational® Team Concert Express-C. These tools can provide a robust, stable, and supported development environment.

This briefing explores the innovation of open solutions available from IBM and illustrates the power and flexibility of an open community development environment. Discussions include IBM's open standards strategy, as well as an in-depth discussion of IBM's open community development tools. Hear details on the features and functions of Eclipse, DB2 Express-C, and WebSphere Application Server Community Edition and Rational Team Concert and their integration for a robust development environment to create and deploy Web applications.

Topics covered:

• Open Standards
• DB2 Express-C
• WebSphere Application Server Community Edition
• Eclipse
• IBM Rational Team Concert Express-C

Virtual briefings

Virtual briefings are presented online using Saba Centra. These sessions replicate a typical classroom with a complete set of features for highly interactive, effective group learning - bringing together voice, video, data and graphics in a structured online learning environment. Sessions are instructor-led and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions. Each event is divided into two separate sessions lasting approximately 2 hours in length. All you need is a Web browser to attend.
