  • IBM Moves Rational Cafes to New Website

    September 7, 2010 Alex Woodie

    IBM last month moved its Rational Café forums to a new website. So, if you’re wondering where you’ll get your next fix from the collaborative online forums, fret no more: they’re now located on IBM’s developerWorks website.

    Since 2008, the Rational Cafes have served as online meeting places for developers to talk about programming technologies, share tips, ask questions, brainstorm, view videos, and download code. IBM unveiled cafes for many major languages, including EGL, C++, COBOL, and RPG. (Yes, IBM still considers RPG a major programming language!)

    In addition to the four main cafes, some of the cafés host off-shoots called “hubs.” The RPG Café, for example, hosted hubs for Rational Developer for IBM i (now called Rational Developer for Power Systems Software), Rational Developer for IBM i for SOA, and Rational Team Concert for IBM i.

    In August, IBM decided to move the cafes from the www-949.ibm.com domain to the developerWorks website, which sits at www.ibm.com/developerworks.

    You can access the cafes from the above-mentioned website by clicking on the Rational Café hyperlink under the Community header near the bottom of the page, or go there directly at this hyperlink: www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/community/cafe/.

    Embrace VS Code for IBM i Development

    The IBM i development landscape is evolving with modern tools that enhance efficiency and collaboration. Ready to make the move to VS Code for IBM i?

    Join us for this webinar where we’ll showcase how VS Code can serve as a powerful editor for native IBM i code and explore the essential extensions that make it possible.

    In this session, you’ll discover:

    • How ARCAD’s integration with VS Code provides deep metadata insights, allowing developers to assess the impact of their changes upfront.
    • The role of Git in enabling seamless collaboration between developers using tools like SEU, RDi, and VS Code.
    • Powerful extensions for code quality, security, impact analysis, smart build, and automated RPG conversion to Free Form.
    • How non-IBM i developers can now contribute to IBM i projects without prior knowledge of its specifics, while ensuring full control over their changes.

    The future of IBM i development is here. Let ARCAD be your guide!
