Bonnie Baker is a consultant and educator specializing in application performance issues on the DB2 OS/390 and z/OS platforms. She is an IBM DB2 Gold Consultant, a five-time winner of the IDUG Best Speaker award, and a member of the IDUG Speakers' Hall of Fame. She is best known for her series of seminars entitled "Things I Wish They'd Told Me Eight Years Ago" and the Programmers Only column in DB2 Magazine.

 

 

Seminar: V8 to V9 for Developers

 

DB2 for z/OS V8 was a huge release - the largest ever, and DB2 V9 is another huge release for developers with many changes in SQL and a huge step for XML. "V8 to V9 for Developers" is a transition course designed to inform application developers (and DBAs who support developers) of the differences between the two releases.

 

Bonnie will cover the key new features and changes to existing features that impact programmers and program design. Many are features that programmers will want to take advantage of in order to use the new version wisely. Bonnie will also offer suggestions for design rules that will need to be reexamined.

This is a one-day overview course.
