Manta Technologies Inc. has announced a new series in the Manta IBM i Training Library: the IBM i Programming Environment. This series introduces users to application development on an IBM i system. It describes the programming languages that are commonly used to develop applications in the IBM i environment as well as the tools available for developing programs.

Emphasis is placed on the development of ILE  programs using modern tools such as Rational Developer for i (RDi) and the Remote Systems Explorer (RSE). However, the legacy development tools PDM and SEU are also covered.

A major part of program development in the IBM i environment is working with DB2 for i, the database management system that is an integral part of every IBM i system. The series covers DB2 concepts and describes how to create a database file using both SQL and DDS. Students will also see the tools available for entering SQL statements and performing database queries.

This series contains the following courses:

·        IBM i Application Programming Concepts

·        IBM i Programming Tools

The series also contains a comprehensive competency exam.

Like all Manta series, the IBM i Programming Environment is available in two ways. You can install the series on a PC or take the courses through MantaNow, Manta’s Internet-based delivery system. Prices for the series start at $198 for a one-year, single-user MantaNow license or $318 for a CD license. A companion Student Reference Guide is available for $25.

 For more information, contact Manta at (800) 40-MANTA  (800-406-2682).  International customers can call (303) 862-4562.  Or, visit the Manta web site (www.mantatech.com) and begin training upon registering.

Manta is the premier company in the IBM i training and education business. This year, Manta celebrates its 17th year in business. During that time, it has trained tens of thousands of IBM i students in over 5,000 organizations around the world. It's customer list includes organizations of all sizes, from major companies (including IBM) down to one-person consulting organizations. If you need IBM i training, Manta is the first vendor most often recommended. Because you want quality training for less. Manta's consistently low price has always been a major attraction. For example, a typical company can train its entire IT organization for less than the price of sending a couple of operators to a class. (See "Total Cost Comparision" for a detailed analysis.)
