Tuesday 1:30-2:20 pm
Learn about Java Beans which are new to the JDK V1.1 and how to build Beans and applets. This session covers the differences and similarities between C++ and Java as programming languages and as development environments. Attendees see a live demonstration using VisualAge for Java to develop Java applets.
Dale Nilsson, Senior Software Consultant
IBM Corporation
Tuesday 2:30-3:20 pm
VisualAge C++ reduces the complexity of the various middlewares that it supports. This session teaches companies how to create distributed applications in VisualAge C++, which follows the visual programming paradigm of the Visual builder and extends it with the concepts of distribution.
Stefano Sergi, VisualAge Generator Sales Support
Manager
IBM Corporation
Tuesday 3:30-4:20 pm
Breakthrough improvements in application development productivity are required to meet today’s business needs. The industry is converging towards "construction from components" and "application frameworks." In this session, attendees learn how VisualAge Generator: exploits component architecture to fulfill the stringent requirements of scalable, reliable, high-performance client/server transactional systems; facilitates the transition of software production from craft to industrial discipline through the use of object frameworks and templates; and delivers the highest productivity and guarantees the highest degree of quality through an innovative, model-driven development approach.
Dale Nilsson, Senior Software Consultant
IBM Corporation
Wednesday 8:30-9:20 am
This session demonstrates the C++ Parts Architecture in the IBM Open Class Library and examples of its usage. A live demonstration shows the steps needed to develop applications using the VisualAge for C++ award-winning construction from parts. Attendees learn a number of useful tips to help them make better object-oriented applications.
Paul Clark, Marketing Specialist
Lotus Development Corporation
Wednesday, 9:30-10:20 am
This session includes an introduction to Lotus Components, Notes/FX, template builder, and the use of Notes IDE to program components using LotusScript. Attendees learn the differences between adding components to forms at design-time and adding them at run-time. Mr. Clark also demonstrates how to enhance Notes Release 4.5 applications with Lotus Components.
Paul Clark, Marketing Specialist
Lotus Development Corporation
Wednesday 3:00-3:50 pm
Lotus is developing a comprehensive set of tools and applications, based on Java code, named "Kona." These tools will enable rapid development and deployment of robust intranet business solutions. Kona will also provide a set of small, fast and easy to use end-user productivity tools in 100% pure Java, including spreadsheet, word processing, charting, project scheduling, presentation graphics, calendar to-do, and email. This session describes how these applets can provide the proper level of end-user functionality without unnecessary overhead, and how Kona components will allow business solutions to be built across all of these different clients.
Darryl Mocek, Product Manager, Lotus Approach
Lotus Development Corporation
Thursday 8:30-9:20 pm
Lotus Approach is the easiest way to develop your desktop and client/server applications with DB2. This session addresses ways to get the most out of Approach while working with DB2 data in order to increase the performance of Approach/DB2 applications. Attendees learn the tricks of programming and how to get the most benefit from LotusScript, Approach's programming language.
Marjorie Ginsberg, Brand Manager, VisualAge Financial
Foundation
IBM Corporation
Thursday 1:00-1:50 pm
VisualAge Financial Foundation is a complete application development offering, consisting of tools, assets, and services that banks and other financial services companies can use to build three-tier networked applications. Attendees learn how companies can benefit from pre-built frameworks and an integrated set of application development tools for modeling, designing, building, and extending customized applications and frameworks.
Dan Rhoads
IBM Corporation
Thursday 2:00-2:50 pm
The IBM COBOL Family of products has made a number of enhancements to OO COBOL on OS/2, NT, Win95, AIX, and MVS. Dynamic link library support on MVS, visual builder support, and enhancements to OO application development across 3-tiers are just a few. Look at these enhancements and others in this session, which covers details on OO COBOL for VisualAge, COBOL for OS/2, NT, Win95, COBOLSet for AIX, and COBOL for MVS.
Dan Rhoads
IBM Corporation
Thursday 4:30-5:20 pm
This session analyzes accessing COBOL applications via the Internet through a Java front-end, and reviews the design of client applications using the combination of Java, HTML, CGI, and VisualAge for COBOL. Attendees see how applications can now reside on Internet servers and be made available to any Internet-ready workstation in a distributed environment. Sample applications in IBM VisualAge for COBOL, OS/2, and NT are covered.
Ian Carmichael
IBM Corporation
Thursday 4:30-5:20 pm
This session describes and demonstrates a completely incremental C++ development system. The system features program representation, which allows incremental builds, and tightly integrates the user-interface and the compiler. Also explained is an application programming interface that allows for extensions of the system kernel, user-interface, and program representation. IBM has a working system that can demonstrate most of these capabilities on C++ code. Attendees gain an understanding of the features of this technology, which will be included in future releases of VisualAge C++.
