Next TUG Meeting of Members
Wednesday, January 18, 2012

LOCATION: Mid-Range, 85 Idema Road, Markham, Ontario
ADMISSION: Free to all TUG members ($40 non-members)

AGENDA:

4:00 Sign up & Greeting

4:30 Session 1: PHP for i

  • Speaker: Mike Pavlak

    Mike PavlakMike Pavlak has been working with IBM midrange solutions since 1992 and IBM Mainframes before that. After years of developing applications using RPG, CL and PHP, he managed IT development and IT for power protection manufacturer Tripp Lite. Recently, Mike has joined Zend as a solutions consultant working with the IBM i sales team and spreading the news about Zend solutions in the IBM midrange arena. Mike lives in suburban Chicago with his wife, five kids, a dog, three cats, a leopard-spotted gecko, Russian tortoise, two rabbits, half a dozen fish and dwarf hamster.

    "One of the most extraordinary things happening in the IBM i community is the wealth of new talent coming onto the scene. Many i shops are attracting PHP developers who were servicing the Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) community. Several LAMP developers are excited to discover the IBM i box that sits in the corner and can do some pretty interesting things. Many PHP shops enjoy tremendous success in enhancing their RPG and COBOL developers’ skills with PHP. But the unexpected benefit is that PHP is unifying the development team around the IBM i platform. Development teams that were once fractured around various language alternatives are now solidifying as PHP lets i shops recentralize data and applications. Developers, Web designers and PC programmers can sing from the same songbook again and enjoy the productivity cross-pollination can bring." — Mike Pavlak

5:30 Intermission (Buffet Dinner & Networking)
