Language Comparisions

September 13, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

As the landscape of programming continues to evolve, many of us IBM i developers find ourselves exploring a diverse array of languages beyond those with which we began our coding journey.As more and more of us get involved with different languages I thought it would be a good idea to give a guide to other […]

Those of you that took a look at my updating of open source packages on IBM I, will know that I have always been one for recommending the convertions of Spool files to PDFs when ever possible.

July 6, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

Looking back at when I first started writing articles for PowerWire.eu nine years ago, I was bought onboard to cover RPG articles.  Looking back over the last few years I have failed miserably in this task and maybe got too carried away in the ‘open-source’ frenzy.

Node-RED & Security

March 6, 2023 by Andy Youens 1 Comment

I gave a quick demonstration of Node-RED to a client recently and I didn’t get the response I was expecting. On bringing up the Node-RED browser interface, the first question I got asked was why doesn’t Node-RED use a TLS (Transport Layer Security), or SSL (Secure Socket Layer), connection to the server. Great question, I’m […]

Node-RED & Bank Holidays

February 7, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

In a recent training course I gave to a UK bank, we were covering web-services and I showed how we can get information from a reliable source and then store it in our database.  They informed me that they still manually input UK Bank Holidays into a table.  This was a task that they had […]
