Re: IBM tech conference

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

COMMON does have several development sessions - admittedly, many are 
fairly basic, one would have to check the grid when a conference is 
coming up.

Another is RPG & DB2 Summit, given by Jon Paris, Susan Gantner, and Paul 
Tuohy - this is focused on development in particular.

After that, I'm not sure - some local user groups will have things. 
IBM's developerworks site has stuff, albeit not as much IBM i as we 
might like.

There is always google - places like stackoverflow.com have lots of 
things in their forum on some topics - again, not specifically aimed at 
IBM i but useful for other things like ftp or xml or ...

Again for things web-ish, there is www.w3schools.com - lots of good 
stuff on javascript and html and xml and and and

There are a couple schools for sure - Gateway in WI, Jim Buck, has 
classes - maybe online. Moraine Valley Community College in IL (says it 
is 2nd largest comm coll in country, 36,000 students!) - Michelle  
August, who run the IT stuff there, says they have online classes when 
enrollment is high enough, as I recall.

COMMON tries to have some webinars. Some are free, some require being a 
member.
