Open Source Starter Guide for IBM i Developers: i Object!

We’re all familiar with the concept of an object-based operating system like IBM i, but an object-oriented (OO) programming language is foreign to some. 

By Pete Helgren

Editor's Note: This article is excerpted from chapter 5 of Open Source Starter Guide for IBM i Developers, by Pete Helgren.

Oh, you might have tripped across it in some generic computer science class, but perhaps it was too long ago or you were groggy enough in class that that particular chapter has been forgotten. If so, we are going to take a very brief trip down the orientation road (don’t worry, we aren’t talking about that kind of orientation).

IBM i Security

A Moment with Carol: What Are the Benefits of Pen Testing the IBM i?

Security is only as good as the configuration.

By Carol Woodbury

An IBM i Pen Test proves that your system security is configured properly. Doing an IBM i Pen Test helps you figure out the holes in your security and specifically what you need to fix to improve. Listen to Carol as she explains how you get the proof you require to show where security needs to be improved, and with that proof you can target budget to improve you security immediately.
