In this workshop, get to know IBM Bob and learn to modernize IBM i applications using IBM Bob AI assistant through five hands-on labs (and more!).
Transform a green screen order management system into modern web applications using AI-guided techniques applicable to your own codebase.
The labs focus on the IBM i capabilities of IBM Bob (Core). We’ll also introduce and demonstrate the use of the Premium Package for i coming soon.
