APIs allow IBM i to connect with other systems safely and securely, using the languages you already know. Because IBM i has API options abound, you can use your favorite languages and tools.
This talk shows many ways to send and receive data safely, using IBM i business logic, with code examples using various free tools and languages, including RPG, PHP, Python, and Node.js. You will feel empowered to provide and consume APIs with the many examples given here.
Learning Objectives: Understand basics of APIs and why they are helpful and secure Learn several RPG techniques to create and call APIs Learn several open source language ways to create and call APIs, using PHP, Python, and Node.js
Accessing business logic from Open Source application and off platform has evolved a great deal over the years. In this session we’ll look at some of the reasons for centralizing this business logic in the database via Db2 Stored procedures. We’ll look at RPG and SQL procedures and work through examples of how these are used from exhibit languages like PHP and Python. Learning Objectives: 1) Learn how to create and execute stored procedures in SQL and HLL (RPG). 2) See examples of how to use Db2 Stored Procedures in OSS languages. 3) Review tips and best practices when working with Db2 Stored Procedures.
