Session AbstractThis session will review a simple responsive Web Portal that supports dynamic menus along with Log In and Log Out capabilities. We will use an IBMi server instance to host this web portal and will use DB2 tables to store data. After a demo of the portal, Bob will do a code review. As a takeaway, you will be given access to the code used in this presentation.
