Welcome! Every two weeks we'll share a list of technical enablement resources
published on the developerWorks Rational Web site.
The big news and attention grabber is next week's Rational Software Development Conference in Orlando. Hooha! You'll find plenty of product announcements and audio podcasts coming from Florida.
If you are RSDC-bound, look me up for a free Rational newsletter cocktail.
If you can't travel for real, participate remotely via Second Life. You can watch keynotes, catch Rational product demonstrations and interact with Rational experts. You'll first have to join Second Life, create an avatar and download an app.
Then visit these two key SLURLs:
Main tent and Code Station.
Finally, consider a great new IBM Press book titled "Implementing RUP and Solutions: A Guide to Improving Your Software Development Capability and Maturity". Author Joshua Barnes brings together comprehensive "lessons learned" from both successful and failed projects, with real-world case studies and actual project artifacts.
My colleagues and I welcome any thoughts you have for improving this
newsletter or the dW Rational Web site.
Yours, Marc Siegel, marcsiegel@us.ibm.com IBM Rational newsletter editor

Secure Web application development with SPI Dynamics and the Rational Software Delivery Platform
SPI Dynamics adds security expertise to the development and testing tools in the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform, allowing teams to address security early and often in their development processes, but without impacting their schedules and taking them away from important functionality. SPI Dynamics tools also contribute to IBM's SOA Governance commitment of ensuring quality of service oriented architecture (SOA) assets through deep security analysis of web services that make up SOA-enabled applications. This article demonstrates how Rational tools make security a natural part of web application development and quality assurance.

Governing software development and systems engineering using IBM Rational Portfolio Manager and Rational Method Composer
Live: Tuesday June 19, 2007, 11:00 am ET
Learn how to effectively deliver software development and systems engineering that connects development, operations, and business management. We will begin by talking about process. We will discuss how process becomes the basis for repeatable, consistent project plans and how you can then automate these through a workflow. We will then dive into specific software and systems delivery activities demonstrating how these would be executed using an IBM Rational and Tivoli solution.
