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.

Some of the Workshop Objectives & exercises with Bob:

Code Modernization - Subroutines to procedures, fix to free…
Web Interfaces: Build React applications with Carbon Design System
Database Access: Refactor to SQL with performance optimization
AI Integration: Configure IBM i-specific AI modes and tools
System Admin & DevOps Automation: Generate Ansible playbooks for system operations

Level: Beginner-friendly | Requirements: IBM Bob IDE installed on your laptop.

The labs require a valid IBM Bob subscription (trial or not), but no worries, we can provide with IBM Bob subscriptions if necessary.
