How are you getting your System i education? What new things have you learned this year? Do your skills need updating? Come to the FASUG All Day Technical Conference and learn the skills you need to succeed in today’s environment. Perhaps you are too busy to attend some of the large 3, 4, or 5 day conferences. Well then our one day seminar will be a perfect fit for your schedule, and your wallet. Improve your existing skills by learning from the experts, or learn about new ways to expand your skills. Either way, you will find it here. If you are a programmer, manager, operator, or systems administrator, this one day seminar has classes for each and every one of you, and will provide you with the skills you need for now and the future. Give yourself or your team the information and knowledge to expand their skills on the System i. Today’s I.T. professionals have more demands on them than at any other time. Yet, when do we find the time to meet these demands and invest in ourselves or our employees? Mark your calendar for Tuesday Oct 21st , for the Sixteenth annual FASUG All Day Technical Conference.

Look over the grid and see the variety of sessions that are offered. Can you afford to stay at work and let technology pass you by? How are you improving your skills? As today’s marketplace becomes more competitive, you need to be here in Danbury to refresh, revitalize, and reinvigorate your skills. Need some help with fundamental RPG, we have some good solid basic RPG foundation classes. What about Advanced RPG, Service Programs & Subprocedures. There are classes on using RPG, debugging, and XML. What about DB2 WebQuery. Come learn how to take advantage of the most exciting software that IBM has for the AS/400. What about PHP on the iSeries, this is supposed to be the programming language of the future. Come hear how you can take advantage of it right on your iSeries. Are you still on OS/400 V5R2, V5R3, or V5R4? Come see how easy it is to upgrade to V5R4 or V6R1. Do you know what the HMC is, how to use it, what an FSP is? Have you realized how much has been added to the AS/400, iSeries, i5, or System i over the years, and the many new features and functions that are available? These sessions will help you get the most out of your investment in the System i. The answers will be found at the FASUG conference on Tuesday October 21, 2008. In one day, you can be exposed to many new topics, as well as learn about existing iSeries technology that you must know. Mark your calendars now, better yet fill out the registration and send it in.

Whether you are new to the iSeries or even an expert, there is no better place to enhance your System i educational journey. Perhaps you find it difficult to send your staff away or even yourself for a few days at a time? Then FASUG’s sixteenth Annual iSeries Application Development Day is for you. There are 4 concurrent tracks throughout the day. Your hardest decision may be which sessions to attend.

SPACE IS LIMITED, DON’T DELAY OR YOU WILL MISS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!

Don’t forget, you can attend any session during any hour that you wish. You are not locked into a "track" or just one speaker. You can go to the session that you are most interested in. Learn what you need to guide your shop into the future on your System i.

There are new features and functions being added to the iSeries at an astounding rate. How can you continue to perform the functions of your existing job, yet at the same time learn about these new iSeries features and functions? Invest in yourself by attending the Sixteenth annual FASUG iSeries Application Development Day. You will learn about: RPG, XML, PHP, Application modernization, HMC, FSP, and strategies to help you in today’s programming environments. These are topics that you and your company can’t afford to miss.

With so many interesting and informative topics to choose from, why not bring the entire staff so you can have someone attend every session? Your investment will pay for itself many times over. Start your System i Technical journey on Tuesday, October 21st with FASUG. Bring a co-worker or bring an iSeries friend.

There are many conferences that are available to educate iSeries professionals. We have taken some of the best topics presented at COMMON by some of the best speakers, added a vendor exhibit and "show & tell" area, wrapped this all into a four track one day format that is within easy commuting distance, all at a very affordable price. With today’s constraints of time, resources, and dollars, where else can you get this much iSeries/400 training for so few dollars.
