For the fourth year in a row, CA Technologies is hosting its free virtual trade show. As always, there are educational presentations to help mainframe users get more value from their existing products, and improve their technical skills. You can find out more and register by going to ca.com/mainframe/may. Last year’s event drew 5,000 registrants from 59 countries; and connected partners, industry experts, and colleagues via virtual booths and online chats.
MMM12 includes presentations by CA Technologies and leading industry experts including Julie Craig, research director, application management, Enterprise Management Associates; Jon Toigo, CEO of Toigo Partners, International LLC; Joe Clabby, president, Clabby Analytics; Craig Mullins, president, Mullins Consulting; Stu Henderson, president, The Henderson Group; and DB2 expert Sheryl Larson, president of Sheryl M Larson, Inc.
There’s also keynote speakers including: CA’s Dayton Semerjian; Dr Howard Rubin, President and CEO of Rubin Worldwide; Julie Craig, CA’s research director; Jon Toigo, CEO Toigo Partners; and Karen Sleeth, Senior Principal CA Labs.
From 1 to 31 May, CA claims it’s “the largest mainframe-focused event of its kind. Every weekday in May brings new insights, tools, and strategies to help you understand and maximize the strength and relevance of 21st century mainframe solutions. There are more than 100+ valuable sessions, demos, papers, and other valuable tools available over every business day in May, so you won’t want to miss a thing! From application development and performance, to databases and storage, to Linux on System z, MMM 2012 has your area covered!”
You may recall that Arcati’s Mark Lillycrop and I were involved in a Networking Lounge conversation during last year’s mainframe madness.
The great thing about this event is that you don’t need to leave your desk. There’s no travel costs, hotel costs, meals, replacement staff costs etc. You just log-in from your laptop.
The same applies to the Virtual CICS user group meeting on Tuesday 8 May. At 10:30am CDT, Stephen Mitchell, Managing Director of Matter of Fact Software Limited, will be discussing “Utilizing the Dojo Toolkit for Web browser-driven applications from CICS”.
Modern Web applications need a user interface that gives a positive experience, is functionally effective, and pleasing on the eye. Creating such user interfaces can be quite difficult using the browser’s native Javascript language. Javascript libraries such as the Dojo Toolkit facilitate the creation and delivery of modern Web applications. CICS on z/OS is fully capable of servicing the needs of Web applications. This presentation discusses how the Dojo Toolkit can be exploited by CICS Web applications. Reference is made to the business issues encountered when deciding to use the Dojo Toolkit in a software solution that already uses the CICS Web interface.
If you want to register for the presentation, you need to go to https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/624487633. If you want to find out more go to http://www.fundi.com/virtualcics/. Or if you’re an IMS specialist go to http://www.fundi.com/virtualims/ to find out about future IMS-related presentations.
Online events like CA’s May Mainframe Madness and virtual user group meetings like the Virtual CICS user group this coming week save attendees time while delivering the information they’d get from physically attending an event. And for their organization, the savings are huge – which is why we’re seeing more events of this type, and why they are so successful.
