1.1.1 IBM i Development
If you are developing applications for the IBM i, you can use the Visual LANSA or the LANSA for i development environment. All of your IBM i development needs can be met using the Visual LANSA development environment, and the Visual LANSA development environment is recommended for LANSA developers. The LANSA for i development cannot be used with RDMLX Partitions.
Many IBM i-based applications will use the Universal Model for applications. If you are unsure of the type of application you require, review Creating LANSA Applications.
Your first steps in the project will be Creating Fields and Creating Application Databases.
It is important to review how Application Templates can improve your productivity before you begin Creating Applications using Functions.
If you are developing Internet applications for IBM i, you may also be doing 1.1.3 Web Development or 1.1.4 LANSA Integrator Development.
If your are other PC based tools (such as Visual Basic or Delphi) to develop client/server application using an IBM i database, review 1.1.5 LANSA Open Development.
