This one-day workshop on AS/400 concepts and tools aims to give participants an overview of what a full course on becoming an AS/400 developer would entail. The workshop plan is to have participants open a free AS/400 account, develop a simple "Hello World" program, and work on a nano project. Participants will learn about key AS/400 concepts like libraries, objects, files, tables and the programming development tools for designing screens, menus, and writing code. The workshop also covers debugging, SQL, emulation software, and next steps for participants.
