Found out something interesting. If you’ll notice there are no blog posts on how to debug PHP with the DevCloud. That’s because while I can get it to work quite easily with Studio I was having a bear of a time getting it to work with anything else. Since Studio worked I knew it was [...]

With the move of many big PHP open source projects to Git (and Github), PHP users worldwide are now exposed to a new version control system that is very different from good old Subversion. In this webinar, the concepts of Git are explained to those not yet converted to Git. The benefits of Git over Subversion will be discussed as well as how to use Git successfully for your projects.

Join Mike Pavlak for his presentation on
Toolkits for PHP Web Application Consolidation:
IBM and Zend have been working very hard to deliver a new Open Source toolkit called XML Service. This project is now implemented in the latest version of Zend Server and Zend Server Community Edition for accessing IBM i specific resources like HLL Programs (RPG & COBOL), Data Areas, Data Queues, Spooled files and much more. Coupled with a compatibility layer which makes the transition to the new toolkit virtually painless for existing PHP applications, this new solution ushers in a new era of PHP and IBM i integration. Mike will explore the Object Oriented model of the new toolkit as well as the existing Compatibility Wrapper that will intercept requests made by the existing i5 function calls and handle them via XML Service. Then Mike will also delve into the process of integrating Open Source applications on IBM i which can save IBM i shops the time and trouble of spinning up additional servers to satisfy day to day requests like company intranets. Open source applications, classes and functions will be reviewed live on a Power Systems server running IBM i in the cloud.
