Do you know the full spectrum of malicious code threats?
Today's malicious code comes in many forms and from where you least expect it. SOX-style legislation and the evolving threat from viruses is challenging the ability of IT management to keep up with security requirements.
As threats from malicious code evolve, protect your systems and network by taking the fight to the viruses where they hide.

IBM Adds 'Rich UI' Design Tool to Rational Business Developer
by Alex Woodie
System i shops considering the move to EGL and more modern development techniques will be interested in learning about the enhancements that IBM has delivered with Rational Business Developer version 7.5.1, which became available two weeks ago. With this release, Big Blue delivered a new component called EGL Rich UI, which IBM claims takes much of the grunt work out of designing and creating Web 2.0-style user interfaces. It also added support for key Internet technologies, and bolstered its support for mainframe applications. READ MORE >

Original Bolsters Support for Java, Mainframe in Testing Tool
by Alex Woodie
The IT industry moves relentlessly forward, forcing professionals to continually adapt to new technologies. Simultaneously, IT pros must keep an eye to so-called 'legacy' technologies that are still in widespread use. This seeming dichotomy was on display with a recent announcement from Original Software, which makes test automation tools. The version 6 release of its TestDrive suite moved forward with improved support for testing Java applications (the 'new'), as well enhanced support for 'old' 3270 mainframe applications. READ MORE >

Development Horror Stories Surface as Aldon Unveils Turkey Award Winners
by Alex Woodie
Some people watch car racing strictly for the high-speed accidents. (We know you're out there.) Others take particular glee in seeing live performers melt down on stage. (You may be one.) When it comes to IT, there are equivalent debacles, but they're normally shared in whispered tones after work at the local pub. Now, thanks to Aldon, which teased the worst sort of tales out of AS/400 developers in return for the chance to win prizes, IT Jungle readers get to hear some of them. And frankly, the stories do deliver. (Not that you're into that kind of thing.) READ MORE >

Tick, Tock: mrc Unveils '24-Hour Challenge'
by Alex Woodie
In the hit action TV series '24,' government agent Jack Bauer is given exactly 24 hours to stop a terrorist attack. But what if, instead of thwarting the attack, Bauer was tasked with developing an enterprise Web application in less than a day's time? That is what the folks at mrc have set upon themselves with the 24-Hour Challenge. The Chicago software company also added a new user defined function (UDF) capability to m-Power, its premier application development tool for i OS and other platforms. READ MORE >

by Alex Woodie
Earlier this year, IBM launched something called the EGL Café to provide an interactive Web locale where people can learn more about its new development language. Last month, IBM gave developers of the RPG persuasion their very own electronic hideout with the launch of the RPG Café. What's more, Big Blue even threw in a 'hub' (sort of a mini café) for Rational Team Concert for i (RTCi), the new change management utility launched in November. READ MORE >
