Mobile/Smartphone applications are becoming "must have"

extensions to existing applications and system management tools but there are few IBM i specific applications available.

This course will take a look at the Open Source Tools available that can allow you to build applications that work with IBM i data and applications. We will also walk through the development of a simple application to access IBM i data.

This is an entry level mobile application development webinar.

We will concentrate on web applications and Android development because of the free tools and cross platform nature of those technologies.
