This Podcast will talk about application platforms and also who are the people that actually develop these platforms For IBM. We will explore what will come in the future, what are successful features of today and why Runtimes like CICS and IMS have been around for that long. We try to bridge the worlds of developers and system programmers by showing how to work together. We will also discuss application architectures and patterns to show how application platforms can actually support your developers! Come join us on our virtual couch and feel free to send us questions or might have a chat with us yourself. Nick ([email protected]) and Tobi ([email protected])
