Targeting Web 2.0 IT professionals and developers, this important
resource provides essential information on IBM s Enterprise Generation
Language (EGL) and the exciting new EGL Rich UI for the IBM i platform.
The first half explains how the EGL Rich UI takes advantage of the
powerful EGL syntax to provide increased flexibility while designing
complex interactive user interfaces from the ground up. This can allow
for building Rich Internet Applications that take advantage of popular
frameworks such as Dojo and services from Google, all integrated
together with EGL Rich UI s built-in widget library. Following is an
exploration into harnessing IBM i, the new open and advanced business
application server, through EGL s ability to make simple connections
from rich clients to back end business services."
