AS/400 VisualAge for Java for WebSphere is a self-paced, hands-on training course specifically designed to bring experienced AS/400 programmers up to speed to develop applications for WebSphere. The course presumes no prior VisualAge for Java experience and guides the student through the process of writing servlets and JavaServer Pages to run in WebSphere Application Server on your AS/400. The course shows how to install and configure VisualAge for Java, and how to configure and work with datasourses and connection pools. The programming examples illustrate the important, basic, object?oriented programming concepts that present a hurdle to many experienced programmers. The course focuses on building practical GUI interfaces in servlets for the purpose of accessing AS/400 database files.
