Breaking Up a Monolith
Thursday May 22, 2025 9:15am - 10:15am PDT
Castle
Every RPG shop has them. Most developers avoid them like the plague. Large monolithic programs are a significant source of technical debt in all RPG shops. They limit your agility which in turn is detrimental to your business. So, once you are ready to deal with the issue, where do you start? There is no one answer, but there are steps you can take to begin dismantling and repurposing the code within these behemoths.

Case Study: Improving performance in RPG programs with SQL
Thursday May 22, 2025 11:15am - 12:15pm PDT
Castle
In this session, taken directly from my real-world experience, I will show you how I leveraged SQL in my RPG. I will walk you through the thought process, the incremental changes and the amazing results. Included in this session is also some simple code that you can take home and use in your development to compare and fine tune your embedded SQL.

Aye, I love Procedure Driven RPG
Thursday May 22, 2025 3:30pm - 4:30pm PDT
Castle

In this session, after demonstrating the fundamentals of a procedure, I will demonstrate the benefits of procedure driven RPG. Together, we’ll explore real world examples of how this mindset has improved code written by myself and my team with regards to three facets: Readability, maintainability and reusability. All three of these benefits translate into a more efficient development team.
We'll finish with some real world examples showing how AI code assistants can really shine when working in a world of procedures.
