  • Moving To Git Source Control On IBM i

    June 14, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    It is one thing when vendors create tools that help users do things, but quite another when users talk about how they use those tools and how well they work.

    On June 24, ARCAD Software will be highlighting how BWI Companies, which is based in Nash, Texas, has adopted Git source control on the IBM i platform, bridging the transaction processing systems behind its lawn, garden, animal health, agriculture, landscape, and pest management products distribution business. BWI was founded in 1958 by Bob and Betty Bunch as a seed retailer based in Texarkana, Texas, and in 1972 started wholesale operations that now span 18 locations in the American Midwest, South, and whatever you consider Texas. (Its own country?)

    BWI will be telling its story about how it has moved to Git on IBM i, with Simone Culp, senior software engineer and data analyst at the company, and Ray Bernardi, senior solution architect at ARCAD, who has been involved in AS/400 and IBM i application development for three decades. At BWI, the IBM i team was getting close to retirement age, so new tools had to be brought to bear to attract new talent – a story that we hear again and again in this community. BWI made the jump from a monolithic system using an in-house software change management system to a modern DevOps stack based on Git, Jira, and a collection of ARCAD tools.

    So sign up at this link to hear the BWI story and learn from the experience of others.

    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!
