developerWorks Rational newsletter

29 August 2007

Dear developer, partner, friend,


Welcome! Every two weeks we'll share new technical enablement resources published on the developerWorks Rational Web site.

Rational editors would like to learn about the content you desire. Please share your thoughts.

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

 Highlights this week

Developing Web portal sites and portlets with IBM Rational Application Developer 7.0: A series of 10 articles
This series is intended as a one-stop master resource for portal site development (which includes both portal and portlet application development) using IBM Rational Application Developer Version 7 and IBM WebSphere Portal Version 6.

Developer self service with IBM Rational Build Forge IDE plug-ins
This demo shows you how to do a preflight build using IBM Rational Build Forge IDE plug-in. This feature allows developers to build checked-out or private source files in a remote build system without having to commit those changes. This ensures developers are building in the same environment as production, and that environment can only be changed by the build team.

 Tutorials

Model service-oriented architecture with IBM Rational Software Architect,
Part 3: External system modeling

The third tutorial in this series covers how you can use an external systems model as part of the bottom-up track of the "meet-in-the-middle" approach. You will use IBM Rational Software Architect to produce an external system model based on the case study used in this series.

Transform UML to COBOL with WebSphere Developer for System z,
Part 1: Create COBOL programs and Web services without writing code

Explore a new feature in Version 7 of WebSphere Developer for System z: z/OS Database Application Generator. This feature automatically generates CICS COBOL programs that can access DB2. It also generates a Web service, as well as the JCL to assist in the deployment of the generated code.
