We’re pleased to announce that speakers from Proximity have had not one, but two sessions accepted for International iPower 2017.
International iPower is a two-day conference, returning this year to Milton Keynes on the 13th and 14th of June 2017.
Featuring educational labs and conference sessions, International iPower 2017 is the event for IBMi developers and users. The conference offers the chance to exchange views and ideas with like-minded peers and colleagues from across the IBM i community.
Proximity has developed applications with PHP on the IBMi. These applications include logistics and delivery management software Stream and sales order management solution iOrder Management.
The speakers from Proximity are Development Manager Pete Samways and Product Manager Shahid Latif.

Responsive PHP web development on IBM i: a practical session that will develop a screen that will run beautifully on desktop or mobile
PHP is a modern programming language ideally suited to development on the IBM i. This session will enable you to start using the tools and learning the techniques needed to deliver responsive web applications based on existing IBM i data.
At the end of the workshop participants will have created their own PHP application and been able to test and further develop the result for both mobile and desktop. We will also introduce GIT source management and Bootstrap responsive design during the session.
