Valence 6.3, the popular web and mobile framework for IBM i, includes a browser-based low-code development utility called Nitro App Builder (NAB), through which anyone with a solid understanding of their IBM i database can build and deploy dazzling web or mobile apps in a matter of minutes.
With newly integrated IBM i-centric AI functionality, developers can use NAB to very quickly create a broad range of applications — from simple dashboard and inquiry apps, complete with download-to-Excel functionality, to highly intricate and intuitive data entry apps.
All of this can be achieved with no coding, though IBM i developers can easily extend functionality with RPG or SQL code to handle business logic as needed. Advanced programmers comfortable with HTML5 and JavaScript code can take things even further, creating super elaborate apps that work hand-in-hand with server-side RPG logic through the Valence Portal. And as of this latest release, you can use the integrated AI assistant to write much of the code for you!
The bottom line: With Valence, whether you're a seasoned RPG developer or a super user with intimate knowledge of your system's physical files, you can crank out highly functional web and mobile apps on IBM i in no time — no prior experience in web or mobile development required. Come to this quick demo session to see the latest release of the Valence framework, and how easy it is to quickly build and deploy web apps on your IBM i system.
If time permits, some actual deployed IBM i customer applications from various industries will be demonstrated as well.
