Application Development Topics
George Farr, IBM Toronto

December 13th, 2005 FASUG Meeting

For our December meeting we go back to the basics -- iSeries application development. George Farr will present several iSeries application development topics: The topics covered will be a little of the past, some present stuff and a lot of the future (e.g., V5R4). George will be soliciting your feedback to present back to the lab on product direction.

So join us for our December meeting to get a lot of useful information on Application Development, hear about what’s coming in V5R4 and kickoff the holiday season.
