PHP is the #1 Web development language on the Internet. IBM has embraced PHP and now ships PHP free with the i operating system. PHP allows you to "start slow and grow your applications over time".

In this presentation, we will:

differentiate PHP from other common web development platforms for the IBM iSeries

reveal a strategy on how companies can move from "entry level" web applications to "enterprise level" web applications like the one developed by Strategic that won the 2009 Power Systems innovation Award: "Best Web Solution" from IBM and COMMON.

Our presenter, Alan Seiden of Strategic Business Systems, is a nationally recognized speaker on IBM i PHP. He has spoken at national PHP focused events, including ZendCon, the worldwide PHP user group. Alan also has published over ten PHP-focused articles for various IBM i publications and is a named contributor in the IBM Redbook “Zend Core for i5/OS.

PHP is the #1 Web development language and is used by 4 of the top 10 web sites (Yahoo, YouTube, Facebook, & Wikipedia). It has a short learning curve, allows you to start small and grow, and has a vast library of no-charge open-source business applications (eCommerce, CRM, ERP, Project Management, Business Intelligence, etc.).

Strategic strongly believes that your web applications should run on the same server as your line of business applications. This eliminates inefficient and unreliable middleware. Our experience is that on the Internet the strongest server wins! Strategic feels that the IBM iSeries is the strongest server on the Internet.
