RPG Source Code Refactoring With a Splash of Modern Tooling
Monday February 24, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm IST
Einstein
Sloppy code, beautiful code. They both produce the same results, so who cares how it looks? If you have heard this before, or are living with this scenario, this is a MUST ATTEND session. Learn about code refactoring (aka "modernization") and see how to rejuvenate old code into maintainable, flexible and scalable components. We will offer a demonstration using RDi and VS Code for IBM i.
