| Next Meeting | -- CANCELLED -- Tuesday February 23rd, 2010 | 9:00am Full Day Session - Joe Pluta Are you tired of the examples of SQL that change the price for every item by ten percent? Do you want someone to show you how to really use SQL? Well, whether you want to create great traditional reports using embedded SQL, build results sets that can drive powerful reporting tools like Jasper, or use SQL as a data warehousing and archiving tool, this presentation will focus on real world uses of SQL. Learn about formatting dates, using CASE statements to handle special values, and dealing with user selection criteria (select a warehouse or enter "*" for all). See examples of advanced techniques including outer joins and CTEs (common table expressions). If you've moved past "SELECT * FROM CUSTMAST", then you'll love this topic. During this presentation, you'll gain a solid understanding of how to use Java in a business environment. Practical examples show you how and why you should add Java into your existing systems. See how JDBC can access data anywhere in your system. Learn about the powerful reporting capabilities of Jasper Reports, a tool which allows you to generate PDFs and Excel spreadsheets with ease, and the JavaMail API, which allows you to send them to your end users via standard email. Familiarize yourself with the incredible spectrum of Java software — much of which is free — so you can integrate it into your shop immediately! Eclipse has taken the development world by storm; Rational is IBM’s development product line; and RDi is IBM’s must-have IDE, replacing the powerful WDSC tooling. This soup to nuts presentation teaches you everything you need to know about these four entities and how they interrelate. Explore RDi, the PC-based GUI development tool that does everything PDM and SEU can do and more, including providing a gateway to Web application development via RDi SOA and EGL. Find out how RDi springboards from the Rational tooling that is built on the open source Eclipse workbench, offering programmers hundreds of reusable plug-ins. Walk through the basics of Eclipse, see how it makes programming easier, and tap into some of the coolest RDi insider techniques — little-known gems that will make you a more productive developer. The presentation winds up with an overview of RDi-SOA, the newest i-based tool in the Rational tool suite, and its free counterpart, EGL Community Edition. Come get a look at what EGL can offer you! Cost is $40 for members and $65 for non-members. The meeting will be held at Comfort Inn. Coffee and donuts at 8:30. Please Register for the meeting here.
