| Preparing for IBM PureApplication System, Part 5: Developing virtual application patterns for IBM Workload Deployer with
Rational Application Developer
Part 5 of this article series shows how to combine the software
development features of IBM Rational Application Developer with the virtual
application pattern assembly capabilities of IBM Workload Deployer to develop
cloud applications. With Workload Deployer, you can assemble virtual
application patterns consisting of Java EE enterprise applications, Web
applications, OSGi applications, and other types of components. However, as an
application developer, it is predominantly the source code of the components
of the pattern you need to work with the most. The latest integrated features
of Rational Application Developer and Workload Deployer will help you develop
virtual application patterns from the source code on up.

| Using the IBM Constraint Patterns and Consistency Analysis extension
This tutorial shows you how to use the IBM Constraint Patterns and Consistency Analysis extension to IBM Rational Software Architect, a tool for pattern-based, consistency-preserving refinement of UML class models. When you use UML models as the blueprints for a system, or as input to a transformation (such as in Model-Driven Architecture, or MDA), a key to success is to provide appropriate levels of precision within the model. A proven approach to add precision to a model is through the use of constraints and OCL. However, refining class models with textual constraints is a time-consuming and error-prone task. At worst, constraint specifications can be inadvertently inconsistent because of contradictory constraints. This tutorial shows you how you can use the IBM Constraint Patterns and Consistency Analysis tool to support users in elicitation, concise specification, consistency analysis, and code generation of constraints in class models. In this way, you are able to simplify how you can create more precise models, leveraging OCL and constraints in a proven best practice and automated approach.

IBM Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET provides visual diagramming tools that help you gain insight into, and knowledge about, existing .NET applications. It can also help you more easily create and understand new applications. This tutorial will introduce the Rational Modeling Extension Visualizer feature, and help you create new class diagrams, sequence diagrams, topic diagrams, and browse diagrams (these features are currently supported for C# code and .NET assemblies). While Rational Modeling Extension for .NET provides the drawing surface for modeling, you are advised to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or later for code editing. This tutorial will also talk about reflecting code changes made in Visual Studio 2005 into Rational Modeling Extension for .NET.

| Scripting Second Life with Rational Application Developer
The virtual world of Second Life is special in that much of it is made up of
content created (and owned) by users. Not only can you create lush 3-D objects (and
sell them for the equivalent of real money!), but you can also create both simple
and complex scripts to control their behavior and appearance. This tutorial explains
the basics (and not so basics) behind Second Life scripts and shows you how to ease
development by using Rational Application Developer as you build a small game users
can carry around and play.

| Patterns-based design and development for architects, Part 2: Using architecture patterns
Design patterns are one of the best ways to share design ideas. They give
software architects and designers a tool, or a language, to capture their
experiences by solving common recurring problems in a methodical way. In this
two-part series you explore ways to use design patterns to solve your everyday
design problems. This tutorial, Part 2 in the series, uses the same railway reservation system discussed in
Part 1 to show you advantages and pitfalls of applying different architecture
patterns.
