 |  | RDi Advanced Features (Online Seminar)
 This seminar provides a first look at the upcoming advanced features of the Rational Developer for i (RDi). The Screen Designer is the intended replacement for SDA, the venerable green screen tool for designing 5250 application screens. Screen Designer replaces the older CODE Studio graphical designer and integrates directly into the RDi workbench. The Application Diagrammer provides a graphical visualization of your application, including relationships between programs. Both tools are in their early stages, but will become important parts of your toolbox as they mature, so it well be to your benefit to be introduced to them now.

 |  | Extending RDi with Plug-Ins (Online Seminar)
 In this seminar, you'll learn about a number of third-party plug-ins that can be installed into your Rational Developer for i (RDi) workbench. Some of these plug-ins are specific to IBM i functionality, such as the SoftLanding plug-ins for viewing spooled files, and others are powerful Eclipse-based plug-ins that can provide additional capabilities to any programming environment. A special focus will be placed on the Eclipse Monkey scripting plug-in, which allows you to write macros for the LPEX editors using simple JavaScript syntax.
