Master the Power of IBM i: A Comprehensive RPGLE & Screen Design Course

Unlock the potential of IBM's robust mainframe systems with this in-depth course covering SDA (System Display Architecture) and RPGLE programming on IBM i (formerly AS/400, iSeries, System i). Learn from an instructor with over 40 years of experience, designed to guide you from beginner to proficient.

What is IBM i (formerly AS/400)?

For decades, IBM's mainframe systems – from the original S/36, S/38, AS/400, iSeries, and System i, now known as IBM Power – have powered critical operations for large organizations. These systems, often referred to as mainframes, are the backbone of industries like banking, telecommunications, and logistics. Despite evolving names and operating systems, IBM i remains a vital platform, with ongoing investment from IBM and a strong, dedicated user base. The system evolved from the System/38, adding the powerful Db2 relational database and a robust object-based operating system (OS/400). The latest IBM i 2020 market study confirms its continued relevance and long-term viability.
