Proximity, BCD’s UK partner, uses Presto to help businesses provide modern, web-based GUIs for their IBM i green screens. The webinar will provide real-world examples to highlight the business reasons for green screen modernisation:
- Faster data entry with drop downs and autocompletes
- Forms and reports as PDFs and Excel documents
- Improved navigation with clickable menus and tabs
- Integration to email attachments of forms and reports
- Access to all web-enabled green screens from any mobile device.
During the second half of the presentation, attendees learn why Presto is simply the fastest way to modernise and mobilise both green screens and new RPG programs using a refacing or an RPG Open Access approach.
Attendees will also see Presto’s mobile features and learn how to add new UI elements, such as images, dropdowns and charts without having HTML experience.

Learn how to quickly deliver modern PHP applications on the IBM i with BCD and Zend
Tuesday 24th November 2015 at 3pm (GMT)
Our second webinar of the month is entitled ‘Learn how to quickly deliver modern PHP applications on the IBM i with BCD and Zend’. PHP is the world’s most popular programming language for web and mobile applications and it is supported by Zend Server and the IBM i.
PHP is the world’s most popular programming language for web and mobile applications. It’s also a great choice for IBM i web application development because it’s supported by Zend and IBM.
Combine PHP and Zend Server with BCD’s WebSmart PHP and you have all the tools you need to quickly develop, deploy and manage modern PHP-based web and mobile applications on the IBM i.
Attendees on this webinar will see:
- How RPG programmers can create fully-functioning PHP applications in minutes using WebSmart templates
- The importance of running applications on a supported PHP stack
- How to quickly develop first-rate mobile applications
- Real-world examples of PHP applications on IBM i from across Europe.
During the webinar, Sutharsan will discuss the major differences between Zend Server Basic and Zend Server Professional, how the security and technical support differs for both versions and the performance features that are included with Zend Server Professional as standard including Z-Ray.
It is interesting to note that Z-Ray integration has been included in the latest release of WebSmart PHP.
Proximity, a BCD and Zend partner, has been pioneering the development of web and mobile applications in PHP on IBM i since 2010, including the design and development of Stream, an award-winning order, delivery and transport management software application.
