Our Digital Media Arts MA is taught both at the University of Brighton and at Lighthouse. The Lighthouse is a digital culture agency where a key part of its work is education and professional development (PPD). Through short technology labs and courses they help empower the digital artists and creative engineers of tomorrow.
We have developed the course in the context of Brighton's status as one of the main centres of the media economy, adopting an interdisciplinary approach that allows you to use and develop your existing skills in an environment that encourages both innovation and high-quality production.
The course provides excellent training for artists, designers and arts professionals wishing to seek a career in the creative industries, offering expert education in the areas of interaction design, social media, programming, digital film, installation, public art and interactive art. You will learn core digital media production skills, explore a broad range of creative digital practices, and access the most up-to-date developments and critical debates in the discipline.
While our professional studio environment enables you to explore the full creative potential of digital media arts practices, we also encourage live project work so that you gain direct experience and develop valuable links to the digital media and wider cultural industries.
The course offers a suitable route and an appropriate academic grounding for PhD study, as has been evidenced by recent student progression on to PhD programs at the University of Sussex, Goldsmiths, Plymouth University and The University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Why study with us?
Areas of study
The course is designed to support your individual development and creativity as an artist and producer and is based around an essential core of practice-based learning, underpinned by a programme of theoretical lecture series, artist talks, seminars, workshops, tutorials and independent study.
You will learn core digital media production skills. Specialist workshops have included processing, motion graphics and sound art.
The course supports an interdisciplinary approach that enables you to develop existing skills and experiences in an environment that encourages both innovation and high quality production. Live project work in modules throughout the course will help you gain direct experience and develop valuable links in the digital media industries and wider cultural industries.
Modules will be relevant and up-to-date in this fast changing and evolving digital climate, allowing for flexibility to expand into new areas of development. Examples of theses areas include screen based web design, social media and interactive installations and also including using data analytics, coding, programming and hacking.
You will be taught by a diverse and experienced lecturing team, all of whom are creative practitioners.
The course offers a flexible mode of study for students, either as a part-time route (two years) or full time (one year).
There will be an increasing emphasis on engaging with script and code, which is particularly pertinent to practical modules as they include the building blocks of developments for creative design, and web applications. These include the following languages - CSS, Flash, Processing, Pure Data, ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0, Wordpress, PHP, HTML5, Javascript, jQuery. MFC, C, OpenGL, Java and Lingo.
We encourage students to create work through the use of open source data and engaging with hacker ethics, which are concerned primarily with sharing, openness and collaboration, rather than using commercial software.

Brighton has been called the happiest place in the UK, and it's easy to see why. With five miles of pebble beach, more than 300 pubs and a packed festival calendar, Brighton is the ideal place to spend your student years.
Arts and culture: The Royal Pavilion is the most famous landmark in Brighton, opening its doors to around 400,000 tourists every year. Right next door is the Brighton Dome, the south coast's premier multi-arts venue, and the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, which holds a diverse collection of decorative arts, textiles and archaeological artefacts.
Festivals: The Brighton Festival is now the largest arts festival in England and a major milestone in the international cultural calendar. Meanwhile, The Great Escape has been established as the UK's leading event for new music, with over 300 bands playing 30 venues across the city over three days.
Nightlife: Aside from the many nightclubs that line the city's seafront, student favourites include The Haunt, Concorde 2 and Patterns, which attract leading bands and DJs from around the world. If you don't feel like dancing, you can take your pick from the many hundreds of pubs and bars that dot the city centre.
Shopping: The quirky North Laine district houses Brighton's finest collection of boutique shops and independent cafes, while the narrow, winding streets of the South Lanes house collections of jewellery and antiques. Churchill Square is the city's main shopping centre and serves all of your high street needs.
Sports: Brighton's seaside location offers the perfect opportunity to try paddle boarding, kayaking and windsurfing. Further into the city, The Level has a skate park for skateboarders and BMX riders to practise their skills.
Campus where this course is taught
Our Grand Parade campus is in the heart of Brighton, across the road from the Royal Pavilion and a five-minute walk from the beach. After your lectures you'll be right in the city centre, close to all the best pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes that Brighton has to offer.
The campus is home to a creative community of arts and humanities students, specialising in everything from fashion and textiles to politics and philosophy. It is also the location of the University of Brighton Gallery and Sallis Benney Theatre, which host events throughout the festival season and beyond.
The world-renowned University of Brighton Design Archives are in the basement of Grand Parade and offer extensive resources for the study of British design in the twentieth century. St Peters House, the campus library, is also nearby and houses a specialist collection of arts books and journals.
Our Brighton halls of residence are located across the city in Grand Parade, Moulsecoomb, Varley Park and Falmer.
Our Grand Parade campus is in central Brighton and has one hall of residence, Phoenix Brewery, within walking distance. We have around 300 rooms available in Phoenix Brewery, which are all ensuite and self-catered.
Moulsecoomb is two miles from the city centre and also has one hall of residence, Moulsecoomb Place, on campus. All accommodation in Moulsecoomb Place is catered, offering breakfast and an evening meal during term time. There are more than 150 rooms available here, with six to eight rooms per flat.
Varley Park offers the biggest choice of student accommodation with ten halls of residence. The site is four miles from Brighton centre but within walking distance of Falmer train station.
Falmer campus has two halls of residence: Great Wilkins and Paddock Field. Great Wilkins offers 150+ self-catered single rooms and one-bed couples flats, while Paddock Field offers 450+ catered and self-catered single rooms only. All rooms in Falmer are en-suite.
Aside from halls, you have the option of Unihomes, which we let out to our students on behalf of private landlords. The rent covers all utilities and includes £5,000 of contents insurance for your personal belongings.
You can also choose to join the many students who live away from campus in private rented accommodation. We have a list of high-quality, university-endorsed private sector accommodation and can help you find housemates to move in with.
Find out more on our Brighton accommodation webpages and if you have any questions, our accommodation team will be happy to help. You can contact them by email at email@example.com or by telephone on 01273 644100.

Daphne Sarcia
As a native Bostonian, who now lives in Orlando, FL. No matter where I have been, people refer to me as being like a Gazelle, as long as I can remember. Working for some very elite professionals as their "Right Hand"; organizing events, attending meetings, designing financial databases and bringing people together, has led me to a new journey.....Creating Gazelle Concierge.
I love meeting people and helping them to create a better and easier way in which to organize themselves, so starting a Personal Assistant and Concierge business was a perfect match. My desire is to not only be successful myself, but to create opportunities for others (particularly young adults) that want to better themselves.
I pride myself in ensuring that I have a reputation that is built on integrity as a professional, paying attention to the details and providing excellence in customer service whether through consulting or for any of the professionals I have worked for. That in turn has fostered the 20 years of relationships that I have maintained and the vast network or professionals across many fields who I respect and who respect my work ethic.
Details are important in everything we do and how we do it, but it is more important to do it with a smile, feeling at the end of the day that I am proud of who I am, the service I provided for my clients and their loyalty to me as a professional.
I look forward to having the opportunity to bring Balance back in Your life through the services offered at Gazelle Concierge!

By bringing together future physicians and the Houston community in a fitness event, we hope to show that exercise is not only in a doctor's advice, but in a doctor's way of life!
The inaugural Baylor College of Medicine Wellness 5K was organized by medical students in 2012 with the mission of promoting wellness both within Baylor and the Houston community as a whole. That year, we hosted over 500 runners and walkers and raised over $18,000 for charity and community projects. Since then, the races have hosted over 1500 runners and raised over $43,000 cumulatively over three years! Please see below for the charities and projects that we have funded in the past three years!
This year we plan to make the race even bigger and better than previous years. We hope you will join us!
Who We Fund
Below, we have listed the charities, projects, and initiatives that the BCM Wellness 5K has funded in the past.
Recipe for Success
We chose Recipe for Success Foundation as our first race beneficiary in 2012 because of their commitment to combating childhood obesity and helping to prevent chronic disease from the start. They achieve their mission by changing the way our children understand, appreciate and eat their food, and by educating and mobilizing the community to provide healthier diets for children.
Recipe for Success has implemented their "Seed-to-Plate Nutrition Education" program in many Houston area schools and seen incredible results, reaching over 20,000 children in nine years of work. The program seeks to educate kids and empower them to prepare healthy meals and snacks for themselves, and also offers training to teachers while supporting them with curriculum and materials designed for elementary school students. They also have other initiatives including "Eat It! Food Adventures with Marco Polo" (an award-winning kid's cookbook/adventure series), "Hope Farms" (an urban agriculture project), and more. Learn more about the Recipe for Success Foundation.
GLOW Awards
The Grants for Leadership Opportunities in Wellness are awarded annually to various community service projects started by medical students. Past recipients of the GLOW awards include:
Refugee Health & Leadership Academy - The Refugee Health & Leadership Academy is a training program for young adult refugees to become health advocates in their community. Medical students from both Baylor College of Medicine and UTHSC Medical School will coordinate and lead the program which includes a week-long summer camp followed by community service and workshops during the year. The pilot program will target 15-20 Bhutanese Nepali refugees with basic English proficiency.
Music and Wellness Choir - The Music and Wellness Program targets students attending middle schools underfunded in the Fine Arts in HISD through providing an afterschool choral music program. While helping to alleviate this deficit, the program also seeks to address the issue of increasing rates of childhood obesity and other effects of poor nutritional health in American children by exposing students to information on healthy lifestyles in public schools as well as discussing careers in the sciences.
Food Rises - Food Rises is a nutrition and healthy lifestyle program launched by four medical students at Baylor and the UT Health Science Center at Houston that aims to alleviate nutritional and sedentary lifestyle issues facing a large portion of the lower socioeconomic areas of our city. The pilot program for Food Rises will be based out of a church or neighborhood center in the Gulfton area of Houston, where medical students and professionals will hold nutrition and exercise classes for parents and children on Sunday afternoons.
Medical Miles Mentor Program - The goal of the Medical Miles Mentor Program is to improve the confidence, health, and health education of middle schools kids through a series of games, cardio-intensive exercising, talks on health-related topics, and weekly small group mentorship. The group works with students at Cullen Middle School once a week, using a combination of small and large group activities to promote wellness.
Student Wellness Program
The Baylor Student Wellness Program is a new student led initiative that uses a multipronged approach towards making future physicians better future patient educators of wellness. Through the program, medical students will learn the importance of and skills for achieving wellness, with an emphasis on mental health and healthy lifestyles. Developing healthy habits early in a trainee's professional career also has benefits for patients later down the road: physicians have been shown to be more likely to counsel and screen for prevention variables of health habits they themselves practice. Initiatives started by SWP include: ATP (Athletic Training Program, a weekly boot-camp style workout), Yoga Night, and a Wellness Lecture Series. SWP is still a fairly new program that is looking to expand and start up more projects in the near future.

I have updated my page as a tribute to my friends.
You can see Bob, my buddy, who escaped from a care taker while our family was on vacations. I miss you Bob
Pelusita is my huMom ´s sister cat and she has always been bigger than me. I like to groom her coat and she grooms mine in return. I think she is a dog, if not..Why do we get along so well? Could I be cat?
We had guinea pig friends, but I met them when they were older. Qbert (redhead) and Quanta ( gray coat) passed away last year but I remember all the fun we had in the backyard on sunny days. We have cousin Vanilla Ice living in the backyard and he is a little bit scared of Cocoa.
You can see Celeste a kitten my human parents helped out and she was turned to an adoption center.
I wish I could show you the photos of my human friends, but they are to shy to show...trust me, they are many!
Happy wags
Hello! Just to make this title clear, Iam not into alcoholic drinks called Mimosas. My second name is after the spanish word "mimosa" that is translated as " the one who likes to caress". Now from my second name you can tell Iam a cuddly loving pup. I love to make human friends and my humans think I could just go live with any family and be 100% happy. I am into many sports... like, hummmm barking and huum , extreme barking. When I get tired of barking at cats and birds, I take a power nap and go back to my barking.
My humans are tying to train me to do some tricks and agility games, but as I have said before... I was born to bark, my sis Cocoa is the one who likes to please people and make them believe she enjoys jumping and spinning.
I guess Iam the insightful relaxed dog of the family ( or maybe thats my excuse to day dream just to wake up and bark some more).
Brenda Mimosa
PS. I just realized my personality is like a Mimosa too! Sweet, natural and a bit bubbly.

Insanity and the ability to act in a calculated manner are not mutually exclusive.
Instead of treating the Israeli and Palestinian narratives as mutually exclusive, J Street recognizes their interdependence.
Cortes says the two Tea Party positions are not mutually exclusive, and Meckler says he agrees, to a point.
For gays and lesbians who vote Republican their orientation is a part, but is not mutually exclusive to their other interests.
And why are financial support and intellectual critique being posited as mutually exclusive here?
It is, of course, impossible to reconcile these mutually exclusive abstractions either in theory or in practice.
The two were mutually exclusive so far as the gamete was concerned.
Why may we not consider the several "steps" of the inductive lesson as occurring in a definite and mutually exclusive sequence?
These two trends are not mutually exclusive as is widely and erroneously believed.
As a matter of fact the two ideas are not mutually exclusive; sexual reproduction may accomplish both of these ends.

Okay, I've written the first-generation RPG proxy program. Basically the proxy's job is to extract the request from the EGL Rich UI runtime and invoke the appropriate business logic.
It's a little more complex than that. If you're testing locally your request is automatically redirected to the local proxy that runs inside the workbench. The proxy calls your CGI service and your service extracts the data from the request. The request looks something like this:
And you return data that looks something like this:
{"result" : { "name" : "Language Poll", "choices" : [{ "choice" : "RPG", "votes" : 87},{ "choice" : "EGL", "votes" : 33},{ "choice" : "PHP", "votes" : 2}]}}
Not too difficult. However, once you deploy to your host machine, things get a little more complex. The runtime no longer uses the proxy in the workbench, and instead it has to send to your proxy. Your proxy program then has to unbundle the request from the larger request, which now looks like this:
{"uri":"http:\/\/IRUIHOST\/cgi-bin\/POLLSVC2.PGM","queryParameters":{},"method":"POST","body":"{\"bindingName\":\"PollService\",\"method\":\"getPoll\",\"params\":[0]}","headers":{"EGLREST":"TRUE","egl_statefulsessionid":"JSESSIONID","Content-Type":"application\/json; charset=UTF-8"}}
A little more ugly, no? Not only that, you have to also buffer your reply into something just as complex. However, I managed to hide most of that complexity in a single program named EGLPRSCGI. I then have two programs, POLLCGI2 and CGIPROXY, each of which calls EGLCGIPRS to get the parameters from the client. Each then calls POLLSVC1, which is the actual business logic, and then formats the response as needed (CGIPROXY does a lot more formatting).
Eventually, CGIPROXY would have to recognize all the various requests and call the appropriate service program. But for now, you can get the project, and you can see the result on the SWICD website:
It's pretty slick, actually.

Okay, with expert guidance from Chris, I managed to engineer a Java-free RUI application architecture. It's not exactly simple. In test mode, any REST request goes through an invisible proxy in the workbench. The request that your service sees is not what the proxy sees; the EGL JavaScript runtime actual wraps your request inside a larger request which is sent to the proxy. The proxy unbundles that and sends it to the target service. The proxy then takes the response, rebundles it and sends it back to the runtime.
So, if you're writing your own RPG version of the proxy, then you have to do all that bundling and unbundling. Then you have to invoke the target service. I, however, skipped that. Since I have control over all the pieces, I extracted the actual business logic and re-wrote the target service to call the business logic. Then I added code in the proxy to call the business logic directly.
It's not quite as complicated as it sounds and it works really well as a proof of concept. I can now say with certainty that it is entirely feasible to write a complete, Java-free EGL Rich UI application, using only RPG as the back end.
I'll clean up the code and export the project (including a savefile with the RPG code) in the next day or two.[Read More]
See What i Can Do - V2R1 (Notes)
Well, this has been an interesting little excursion. I really wanted to make sure that I tried to test the boundaries of the "Java-free" EGL/RPG architecture and as soon as I did, I ran into a little bump.
The problem is that you can't use a variable as the URL of the REST request. I don't understand the limitation and I haven't really asked about it yet, but the limitation is real for now. And because of that, you can't just pass your parameters as variables in the URL and then retrieve them with simple calls to QzhbCgiParse in your RPG-CGI program.
All is not lost. As it turns out, when you call a function in a REST service the parameters for the function are passed to the REST service as a JSON string. The JSON string is somewhat buried in the POST data and to make it even more challenging the data is in ASCII, but the parameters are more or less accessible, depending on how hard you're willing to look.
I'm going to take the time to write a simple procedure to extract the parameter string from the POST data. Then in order to make things simple I'll write a second procedure to treat the parameter string as a single string parameter (if that's not too confusing). It will assume that any REST function has only a single parameter of type string.
With that, I can then build comma delimited data in the Rich UI client and parse it in the RPG program using %scan. It's not quite as seamless or flexible as the magic Record-to-Data Structure conversion of EGL, but it will prove the point. Once that's done, though, I think it will be time for me to move to a true EGL Service implementation.
Anyway, that's what I'm working on. Hopefully I'll have it done in the next day or so. It's just a little bit of a speed bump.
Comments would be great. And if an IBMer happens along this and thinks I'm doing something completely bizarre, feel free to let me know... [Read More]
See What i Can Do - V2R1 (Preview)
Given how easy it was to create an RPG-only service, I've decided to kill two birds with one stone with V2R1. I'm going to create my first persistent widget, and I'm going to do it without any Java code (and thus, without the requirement for a web application server). I'll eventually return to this code and rewrite it using traditional host-side EGL for the service, but this first non-Java version will be an interesting exercise.
The concept of a "persistent widget" is going to be crucial to this project. The term means a widget that persists between accesses and can be accessed by multiple sessions. In its simplest form, a persistent widget is simply a widget backed by a database. In my first go-round I think I'll create a "Poll" widget. A poll will have a unique name, and for children it will have choices, each of which has an attribute of choice text and number of votes.
The EGL record for this will be wonderfully simple, and unless I'm mistaken the RPG program will be very simple as well. I think that by my next blog entry I ought to be able to create an RPG program that not only returns a Poll object, but also allows update. That should then make it almost trivial to create a user interface that allows anyone to vote in the poll.
What do you think? My idea is that we ought to be able to create a whole library of self-contained persistent widgets which can then be used to build applications. What other widgets do you think might make sense?[Read More]
See What i Can Do - V2R0 - Reprise
Okay, this was a lot easier than I expected. I'm not saying it didn't requier a little research; the QzhbCgiParse API is not for the faint of heart. But a little research, a little careful reverse engineering, and I was able to create a program that responds to a Rich UI REST request. And it takes nine lines:
The simplicity of the code is rather impressive. The first line gets the data from the URL, the next three strip off the trailing LF that QzhbCgiParse insists on giving you. The next two lines send the header, the last two send the response formatted as a JSON string. That's all there is to it. There are obviously a couple of prototypes, and the ubiquitous error data structure that is familiar to anybody who codes API calls in RPG, but those can be /COPY'd in. The meat of the code is the eight lines above (nine counting the return).
The code in the test program is even simpler:
It's a standard REST call, except I change the baseRUI to pass the parameters. Now, I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to pass the parameter via the actual method call, but for this particular proof of concept I don't care about that. The point of this exercise is to prove that anything you can do with "traditional" EGL - that is, a web service written in EGL and deployed in an application server that calls an RPG program - can be done using nothing but the Powered by Apache server and standard RPG-CGI - that is, no Java, no WebSphere, nothing you wouldn't have to know for any other approach. You just have to learn the EGL Rich UI syntax.
Now, I wouldn't recommend this approach since if you can write EGL Rich UI you can write host-based EGL just as easily, but if you absolutely cannot run WebSphere or Tomcat, then this will allow you to still use EGL Rich UI.
Nifty, huh?
Let me clean up the example to something a little less trivial and I'll post this project, probably tomorrow sometime. As I noted at the beginning, I'm doing this solely in my free time and I used up most of that time tonight writing this blog post .[Read More]
See What i Can Do - V1R1
Although still in the "hello world" stage, I think ther are a few basic web functions that I can verify before moving into the more rarified world of business applications.
One problem with a language like EGL (or indeed any program generator) is the potential for lock-in. While it does a lot of things really well and really productively, you have that nagging feeling at the back of your mind that you're going to hit a wall somewhere, and that's when the proverbial other shoe will drop.
For example, you might want to incorporate some nifty widget from the outside world. Typically, this involves hacking the generated code, those hacks then get wiped out the next ttime you generate. This has been the bane of 4GL programmers forever. But EGL is supposed to be better than that - it's supposed to be designed with extensibility in mind. To that end, I used this version (V1R1) to see if I could take advantage of outside code.
To do that, I went to one of the roughly sixteen million web sites that allow you to create free hit counters, and I created one. I then added the generated HTML to my RUI page using the "HTML" widget. The results were expected: the counter works fine.
The new PIF file can be found on the See What i Can Do thread.[Read More]
See What i Can Do - V1R0
Okay, I think I may have a slight glitch in the process here. I thought I would be able to add files to my blog posts, but I don't see how to do that.
Instead, you can get the file from a discussion in the forums. Go to this forum post.
I'm also going to try to post these into the EGL Exchange, although that's a more involved and less immediate process. Anyway, here's the first one, which is just a Hello World. I'm going to immediately revise it, and you'll see another blog entry on the new version.[Read More]
The New Project - Overview
Okay, what's the new project all about? Well, it's got a whole set of rather ambitious goals, from creating killer apps for the i to comparing the productivity of EGL compared to PHP.
What I plan to do is simple: I'm going to create apps right before your very eyes. As I noted in the previous post, I've got one up and running, at http://see-what-i-can-do.com. The application is simple: it shows "Hello There" and if you roll your mouse over the graphic, the phrase "...from see-what-i-can-do" appears. Pretty simple stuff.
It took me about five minutes to create the application. In fact, it took longer to create the nifty "Hello There" graphic than it did to write the EGL that displays it. And then it took me another hour or so to figure out how to create a virtual host in Apache and deploy the application. Now, though, I'm pretty confident that I can update the application and deploy it in just a minute.
In fact, I'm going to do that as I write this entry. I'm going to add "V2.0" to the message. It's 3:30PM by my workstation. Let's see how long it takes.
Fire up RDi-SOA.
Modify the EGL.
Redeploy it locally.
Copy the file to the IFS.
Rename it to index.html.
Done... at 3:32PM.
Okay, the idea is to create the applications, and then make them available as downloadable Project Interchange Files. I'll start with simple applications like this using only Rich UI. Next I plan to attach to RPG programs, starting using simple RPG-CGI. Eventually I'll use traditional EGL to provide the web services, but one step at a time.
I plan to write a number of applications: dashboards, blogs, polls, inquiries, data entry, you name it. Follow along with me as I do it. Oh - and tell any PHP advocates you might know about the project as well. Because I double dog dare them to be able to do anything as quickly as I do it...
Later![Read More]
The New Project
Okay, it's time to start the new project. My goal for this project is to provide a working foundation for everybody who wants to use EGL with the i, and especially Rich UI.
For now, I'll be focusing on Rich UI. Trust me, I'll get back to the thin client stuff, but for now Rich UI has a couple of things gonig for it: it's really sexy, and it doesn't require WebSphere (or any application server).
You can see my first page here:
NOTE: there is no www. in front of the URL; that's because I'm using the same server I use to serve my PBD corporate website. If you do type the www. you'll get an error (because I'm not an Apache genius and my virtual host configuration isn't 100% correct).
I'll address that later; for now I just wanted to get a page up and running and I've done that.
I'll go into a little more detail in the next blog entry.[Read More]
Well, THAT was Fun!
So let's see here ... the last time I blogged was December of last year. That was a looooong eight months ago, folks. But now I really am back. The new book is in production with a release date of November 1st. It took a lot more effort than I'd expected, mostly because I didn't even know what "EGL Rich UI" was when I first envisioned the book.
No matter; the book is very cool and provides a complete in-depth guide - with source code! - to building multi-tiered applications using the IBM i as the business logic server (although technically speaking you can use anything as a service provider - that's part of the beauty of SOA).
So now with the book out of my hands (and hopefully into yours!), I'm starting a new project. This one is much better suited to blogging, and I'll post about that in my next blog entry.[Read More]
Enterprise Web 2.0 with EGL
Ben_Margolis 270001971J Tags:  web soa egl book documentation web2.0 2,156 Views
When you learn, you want to know how one subject is related to another. Our new book, Enterprise Web 2.0 with EGL, puts EGL in its place:
The Place of EGL in Business
We show that EGL lets you write code at less expense and in a way that enables a competitive advantage. We describe two technologies that have business implication: Web 2.0 and service-oriented architecture. Also, we give you an insight into the economics of social computing.
The Place of EGL in History
We present EGL as part of the trend to greater power per language statement, from machine code to assembly language to third-generation languages to an "enterprise language."
The Place of EGL in Secure Computing
We give an illustrated overview of Web security, with details on EGL. This stuff is interesting!
The Place of EGL in the Runtime Environment
We show how EGL-generated code -- user interfaces, services, and programs -- fits into the runtime environment and makes modernization easier than ever.
The Place of EGL in Day-to-Day Development
We offer a detailed overview of the language, including a practical look at our newest technology, Rich UI. Please note that some of this material was first published in IBM Rational Business Developer with EGL, which is replaced with the current work.
Our EGL book is growing, and we'd like it to be as useful as the language. You can help by reading the book, logging on to the EGL Cafe, and adding a comment to this post.

Notes from iSeries DevCon
JoePluta 100000KMX3 Tags:  rdi rpg business_logic egl i soa application_modernization 6 Comments 3,250 Views
I haven't been posting this month because I've been really busy getting ready for iSeries DevCon. This is one of the best technical conferences, although you might consider me a little biased; in four days, I give one all-day jumpstart (this year on migrating from PDM and SEU to RDi) and then 10 sessions and hands-on labs. It's always been a forward-thinking conference; I did sessions there on Eclipse and Visual Age for Java (Eclipse's predecessor) as far back as 2001, along with some of my first web-enabling sessions.
Since then, they've always been ready to present the latest technologies and so this year I gave what I'm pretty sure was the first hands-on EGL lab at an i technical conference, along with a number of other sessions and labs ranging from multi-tier architecture development to extending Rational tools with Eclipse plugins. My session on Eclipse, WebSphere and Rational was repeated, and even though the second one was in the last slot on the last day, we still had good turnout.
In the i space, EGL has to deal with all the buzz surrounding PHP and MySQL. To me, that buzz is nothing more than white noise because PHP just doesn't stand up to EGL when it comes to ease of use, adoption of advanced technology and integration - especially with the i. As a simple example, PHP's connection to the i involves using a PHP knockoff of IBM's Java toolbox, and while the toolbox is phenomenal technology, using it directly requires a lot of code; a simple program call might require dozens of lines of code. With EGL, it's a simple CALL statement. And when I demonstrated how easy it was to build entire applications using RDi-SOA to write EGL front ends and RPG back ends, people started getting excited. In a simple 90-minutes lab attendees with no prior Java experience were able to create an EGL record, build a JSF page, then flip over to the RSE perspective to compile the RPG business logic, and then back to the EGL to add a few lines of code to attach the two.
I also did a lab on multi-tiered architecture without EGL (using plain old JSP and Java) and the people who attended both really got an understanding of what EGL was all about: simplifying the plumbing. Even the simplest web application requires a significant amount of plumbing code in any 3GL, whether it's Java or PHP or RPG-CGI. EGL removes all of that for you. Not only that, but the very nature of the language makes it easy to reuse code, so that once you've created a JSF client, it's simple to turn around and create a rich client or a web service. I think that really hit home with a lot of the attendees.
Anyway, I'm back now and I'm focused on the Rich UI book. You'll see a lot more about that in the coming weeks. It's good to be back, and thanks for reading![Read More]
Rich UI Tips, Number 1 - What I'm Finding
JoePluta 100000KMX3 Tags:  business_logic egl rui rui_tips i application_modernization 2,183 Views
I can't think of a better title for this, but since I hope this becomes an ongoing series of posts, I want to make sure I stick a number in there. Maybe I should have made this one Number 0, because it's going to be sort of an introductory post, but that's okay.
This blog series will be based on things I find as I'm writing RUI applications. It will range from little things like tips for formatting (using a class to right-adjust grid columns) to major RUI topics such as how to implement services in a modular architecture (the answer is Delegates, but the devil is in the details).
Because of the book, I've already got a list of topics on hand. In fact, as I write the blog posts you'll get more glimpses into the book writing process. But I can give you a few quick previews. For example, I'm becoming pretty proficient at formatting Grids. This is important stuff for those of us in the i community; the Grid is the replacement for the subfile and it's crucial to being able to build applications quickly.
Another thing that comes into play is the fact that all the HTML for a RUI page is generated at runtime. Because of that, it's difficult to see the actual HTML which in turn makes it hard to diagnose CSS issues. I've figured out a way around that. I hope to make a generalized widget available soon, but I will at the very least post some example code. The trick is outerHTML...
Anyway, I'll be back posting more. Let me know if there are areas you need addressed.

EGL Rich UI - The Next Generation
JoePluta 100000KMX3 Tags:  rpg rbd egl rui i rws application_modernization business_logic rdi 1 Comment 3,203 Views
No, seriously, what I mean is this is the next generation of posts on the RUI topic. A month ago I wrote that some exciting stuff was in the works, and now I can tell you about it. This will actually be a short blog entry - I just want to let you know what's coming.
Briefly, I'm writing a book. The book is going to be about using RDi SOA to build EGL Rich UI applications with the i. EGL Rich UI is the "formal" term for RUI, and if you haven't played with it yet, you should get yourself down to the alphaWorks site and get a copy (and yes I know the page says EGL Rich Web Support, but I have it on good authority that EGL Rich UI is the official name).
The book will show how to build a Rich UI interface using EGL and then connect that to a business logic back end written in RPG. Every step of the way will be written and debugged using Rational tooling.
And those of you who read my blog will get an inside look into the process of writing a book. It may inspire some of you to try your own hand at it. Those of you with clearer heads will run screaming...
Anyway, that's the short version. This ought to be an interesting project...[Read More]
Rich UI and I (and i)
Hello there! It's been a very hectic few weeks here with lots of projects (some of which I can tell you about, some of which I can't... yet). I haven't been able to post as much as I had liked but I hope to be able to fix that over the coming months. I especially hope to give you some updates regarding the Rich UI and how that particular code works with the i.
To start with, I've managed to create end-to-end rich applications using nothing but the Rational tooling. These applications run from a Rich client in the browser written using the latest RUI release, through a web service written in EGL using RBD 7.1, to an RPG program written using RDi 7.1. It's fast and easy - the entire web service infrastructure, for example, only took a dozen or so lines. I'm looking forward to the day when all three components live together in a single workbench, but for now it's pretty easy. In fact, I run all three tools on my desktop at the same time in less than 1GB of memory (my Firefox and Thunderbird take up more!).
I've begun playing with the various widgets, including the Dojo widgets. I created a simple application that invokes a web service to get data and then shows that data side-by-side using a regular Grid object and a DojoGrid. I'm finding some interesting things about developing, including issues with the debugger and with passing complex objects (remind me to explain why you can't create a factory function that returns a DojoGrid).
All in all, it's been very interesting. Unfortunately, the real projects are taking most of my time, so I don't have a lot to share publicly this post, but I hope to be able to tell you more about some of those projects soon. And in the meantime, I'll try to keep updating you with what I've been up to. I see if I can figure out how to post my end-to-end HelloWorld application later this week.
Thanks as always for reading![Read More]

text: As this gets asked a lot, I put a little guide together for fast linking or even quoting. Link to this thread: How to backup/copy/rip video DVDs to your HDD and transcode them to another format. Code for link to this thread: Code: [plain][URL="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=825323&highlight="]How to backup/copy/rip video DVDs to your HDD and transcode them to another format.[/URL][/plain] 1. How to copy (rip) the content of video DVDs to your HDD As commercial video DVDs use a copy protection scheme called CSS (Content Scramble System), additional software is needed to copy the content of a video DVD to your HDD, which is called "ripping". There are several applications to accomplish this. 1.1. MacTheRipper 2.6.6 (free) Insert the video DVD into your DVD drive and open MacTheRipper and click the GO button, after which you can select the place you want the video DVD's content saved to. As this version of MTR is quite old, it will not read many modern DVDs. 1.2. RipIt (19.95 USD, trial with 10 rips free) Insert the video DVD and press the RIP button. 1.3. Fairmount (free) - needs VLC 32-bit to decrypt the CSS (thanks to Satori for that information) 1.4. Mac DVDRipper Pro (9.95 USD) Insert the video DVD and select a destination folder, then press the RIP button. 2. How to transcode the MPEG-2 encoded video DVD material for use on your computer after you ripped the video DVD. As video DVDs take up a lot of space (up to 8GB), one can transcode (changing the format and encoding) the MPEG-2 encoded video into MPEG-4 encoded video via Handbrake, which might only take 1GB of HDD capacity away, while still looking good. Handbrake currently offers to read VIDEO_TS folders, the folder on the video DVD with all the material (menus, video and audio) inside, and transcode the footage to something smaller. Currently variants of the space efficient and highly qualitative MPEG-4 codec are used, H264 or Xvid for example. The current version of Handbrake offers two container formats, .mkv and .mp4, older versions also had the .avi container to transcode to. .mkv and .mp4 containers accept the H264 codec, also used for the QuickTime trailers on Apple's Trailer page. Handbrake also offers PRESETS for you to choose from. There are for the AppleTV, iPhone and iPod Touch, iPod and some more. For more information about properly using Handbrake, either go to the Handbrake Community, read the Handbrake Guide or use MRoogle to find dozens upon dozens of threads about this. 3. How to transcode the MPEG-2 encoded video DVD material for use on your computer without ripping the video DVD. If you don't want to rip the video DVDs first, and just use Handbrake for transcoding the video, make sure to install VLC Player to circumvent the CSS I mentioned earlier. Make sure you have the 64-bit version of both applications installed, or the 32-bit versions. Both applications will not work together, if one is 32-bit and one is 64-bit. VLC Player 64-bit (VLC 1.1.3) - VLC Player 32-bit (1.0.5 and lower) Handbrake 64-bit Intel, 32-bit Intel and 32-bit PPC on this page, so choose the right one. 4. How to copy (burn) the ripped DVD contents onto another DVD. After you ripped the DVD to your HDD (see 1.), you'll notice, that there is a VIDEO_TS and an AUDIO_TS folder inside the folder created by the ripping software to store the ripped contents in. These two folders are necessary for creating a video DVD, thus they have to be burned to the DVD you chose to use as backup. As video DVDs often contain more than 4.7GB of data, you have to use so-called Double Layer (DL) DVDs with a capacity of 8.5GB to burn the video onto. Single Layer (SL) DVDs can only store 4.7GB of data, thus only short videos are having enough space on them. You can either use DVDRemaster (40 to 50 USD) to use SL DVDs for ripped DVDs, that are bigger than 4.7GB, or you can use Burn (free) to burn the data onto either SL or DL DVDs without further re-compression. (thanks to balamw for that information) There is also Toast Titanium to use. from How to backup/copy/rip video DVDs to your HDD and transcode them to another format. http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=11131326&postcount=7 Also of interest: How-To: Automating DVD & Blu-Ray (Backup, Encoding & Tagging) for Mac OS X 10.6

Jharkhand Tourism Destinations
Betla Info
- State: Jharkhand
- Famous for/as: Jungle
- District: Latehar
The Betla forest covers an area of about 226 sq. km, extending from Kechki till Neterhat. There are around 970 species of plants, 180 species of medicinal plants, 174 species of birds and various other species of reptiles and animals in the forest. Betla is also surrounded by hills, valleys, dense forests and waterfalls.
A popular tourist attraction, the Betla National Park is situated in the Chota Nagpur Plateau of Jharkhand state. It is one of the first national parks in India which became a tiger reserve, under Project Tiger. This national park covers an area of about 1,026 sq. km. In 1989, around 63 sq. km of the Mahuadar Wolf Sanctuary was added to the Betla National Park.
Travellers can enter this park from the Betla village which also features various waterfalls and hot springs. Jungle safari or jeep safaris are also organised at this national park by the local forest authorities. Betla is also known for its wide range of vegetation, which is possible in the tropical wet evergreen forests, along with deciduous forests and temperate alpine forests.
The northern part of the village is surrounded by the Koel River and its tributaries, as well as the ruins of the Chero King Fort which is around 120 metres high. Betla is one of the ancient forest areas in India which remained undisturbed for several years. This was the first forest region to be developed during the British colonial rule in India. The Aadiwashis, which is regarded as a Scheduled Tribe, reside in this region and is known for their strength and bravery.
The best time to visit Betla for wildlife exploration is between May and June. Moreover, the most suitable time, in terms of weather, extends from November through March.

"Betla National Park, for a jungle visit"
- Posted Dec 14, 2015
Betla National Park, situated in Palamau is one of the first nine tiger reserves in India. It takes about 6 hours to drive 156 kms long road from Ranchi to Betla, as there are some bad patches in between. The park is known for various animals like horned antelopes, tiger, leopard, elephant, bears, bison, chitals, deer etc. Spread over a vast area, the park enjoyed little elevation with tropical forests. The forest is having a network of motor able roads suitable for plying Jeep. We did the jungle safari in our own Jeep during afternoon. We could see bison, deer, monkey and antelopes. Although there are some tigers, but they could hardy be seen by travellers. Jharkhand Tourism's Lodge at Betla could be booked from major cities. Winter is the best time to visit this forest.

The place I expected to be was quiet different. There is a wild life century in Betla which is the main attraction. But very poorly maintained the staff are not very friendly and the worst part in the tiger reserve forest. We hardly saw any animal except couple of deer here and there. The govt hotel was very shabby and ill-maintained. Overall had bad experience of this place.

Mesmerizing is the word which comes first to the mind while starting to write this review. Everything about this place has attracted me because this is a place where you can see nature very closely. It may not have man eaters but the deer, elephant safari, jeep safari will enthrall you for sure. If u can stay at the tree house then u can enjoy even more at night.

March 2013 will be remembered for its cold, miserable weather, and Environment Canada confirms that it ranked as the second-coldest March in the last 50 years.
"It was so winter-like, my gosh it was even more winter-like than February," said David Phillips, chief meteorologist with Environment Canada.
In Regina, the average daily temperature during March measured around -12.3 C.
"The normal would be around -5 C," explained Phillips, "and I needn't remind you that last year, the temperature was close to 1 C. So think about it, (that's) 13 degrees colder than it was the year before."
Phillips adds that the weather Regina experienced was typical for the rest of Saskatchewan.
Not only was March colder, Phillips says there was 50 per cent more snow, leading to Regina breaking a 60-year-old snowfall record. The cold and snow also led to a 30-33 per cent increase in heating costs for most homes.
"The only good news here is the fact that March is finished."
Phillips says April should bring more spring-like weather, but admits it may take some time yet for it to arrive. The ideal temperatures would be a high of 7 C during the day, with lows around -6 C.
"What we see this week, the first week of April, it's just not going to give us that."
April should still bring temperatures above normal, but a mass of Artic air will have to move on before that can happen. Phillips admits there is the risk of a warm-air mass moving up from the U.S that could make the flood issue more critical.
Just because the weather is slowly warming up, it doesn't mean we've seen the last snowfall, though Phillips ensures we shouldn't see any more significant storms. There have only been three Aprils without snow in the last 100 years.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- In a mini-preview of the Ivy
League Heptagonal Outdoor Track & Field Championships, seven of
the Ancient Eight were among the many teams to descend upon
Princeton, N.J., for the annual Sam Howell Invite.
Based on the results from Princeton's Weaver Stadium, the teams are more than ready for the 2014 Ivy League Championships, which will take place on May 10-11 at Yale.
In the latest United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) polls, Cornell's men's team is No. 21 and three women's teams are among the top-50: Dartmouth 46, Columbia 47 and Princeton 49.
Here is a team-by-team look at the Ivy League squads:
The Bears competed in not only the Sam Howell Invite, but also the Stanford Invite. For the women, senior Heidi Caldwell set a school record in the latter event in the 5K, placing 22nd with a time of 16:05.84 to break her own mark. Back on the east coast, senior Victoria Buhr won the discus title and placed fifth in the shot put, while sophomore Kebbeh Darpolor was third in the shot put. Sophomore Rachel Van Metre (fourth, triple jump), freshman Ellie Gravitte (fifth, javelin) and senior Brienna Crimmins (sixth, long jump) also placed in the field events. On the track, junior Alex Stanton and sophomore Lydia Davenport each placed third in their respective events, the 400mH and 3K, while freshman Emmaline Suchland was fifth in the 100m.
The men were led by a trio of third-place finishers in sophomore Ryan Kelly (400m), sophomore Ned Willig (800m) and junior Courtland Clavette (discus). Senior Ajani Brown finished right on Kelly's heels, placing fourth, while senior Henry Tuffnel took seventh in the 800m behind Willig. Freshman Taylor Alarcon was sixth in the triple jump and junior Peter Rhodes was eighth in the 110mH.
Next events: Saturday, April 12, Brown Invitational – Providence, R.I./Saturday, April 12, George Mason Invitational – Fairfax, Va.
The Lions kicked off the 2014 season with the Stanford and Sam Howell Invites. In Palo Alto, Calif., junior Waverly Neer set a program record in the 5K with a time of 15:37.85, placing ninth overall. Her time is the third-best all-time in Ivy League history. In Princeton, senior Marvellous Iheukwumere won the 200m and was part of the Lions' second-place 4x100m relay team. Senior Chelsea Carrick was the other winner for Columbia, taking the 3K title. Two other Lions finished as the runner up in their events: sophomore Olivia Sadler (5K) and freshman Anna Williams (long jump). Sophomore Jaycee Parker finished third in both the 200m and 400m.
The men sent some of their distance runners to Stanford, but most of the team went to Princeton, where seniors John Gregorek, Nico Composto and Jake Sienko went 1-3-4 in the 5K, while fellow classmate Harry McFann and junior Brendon Fish went 2-4 in the 800m. McFann then joined juniors Kevin Boyd and Connor Claflin and freshman Noah Lartigue to take third in the 4x400m relay.
Next events: Saturday, April 12, Joe Hilton Invitational hosted by UNC – Chapel Hill, N.C./Saturday, April 12, George Mason Invitational – Fairfax, Va.
The Big Red competed in the Stanford Invitational. The women were led by senior Rachel Sorna, who broke a 22-year-old 5K mark by over 10 seconds, finishing as the seventh collegiate runner with a time of 15:54.31, the fourth-fastest time in Ivy League history. Sorna currently holds the third-best steeplechase and seventh-best 5K times in the country. In the 10K, senior Devin McMahon finished in 34:05.46, among the top-20 times in the nation so far, while sophomore Caroline Kellner set the 27th-best time in the country with a time of 34:21.94. Sophomore Udeme Akpaete took fifth in the 400m, while freshman Kacie Hargett took fourth in the javelin.
For the men, junior Stephen Mozia won the Invitational sections of the shot put and discus and the Collegiate division of the hammer. His 63-10 ¼ mark in the shot put is a school record and fourth-best all-time in Ivy League history. Senior Tommy Butler was third in the high jump and freshman Grant Sisserson took third in the Invitational pole vault after clearing 16-3 ¼. On the track, sophomore Max Hairston placed fourth in the 110m and ninth in the 400mH. Seniors Justin McCollin, Steven Bell and Kinsley Ojukwu and sophomore Larry Gibson teamed up to place third in the 4x100m relay.
Next events: Saturday, April 12, George Mason Invitational – Fairfax, Va./Saturday-Sunday, April 12-13, Bucknell Invitational – Lewisburg, Pa.

The women were led by senior Megan Krumpoch, who won the 400mH in 59.99, while the 4x100m relay team of sophomores Kaitlin Whitehorn, Sara Kikut, Anna Kikut and Jennifer Meech won with a program-record time of 46.72. Whitehorn also placed second in the 200m and seventh in the long jump, while Meech finished fifth in the 400m. Krumpoch teamed up with Meech, senior Janae Dunchack and freshman Katy Sprout to win the 4x400m relay. Junior Lauren Ready finished the 100mH in 14.88, placing sixth. In the field, sophomore Kaitlin McCallum was fourth in the pole vault and senior Emmaline Berg was sixth in the shot put.
Freshman Alex Frye had double duty for the men, finishing sixth in the high jump and 10th in the 100mH, finishing behind freshman Nico Robinson, who placed fourth. Senior Jalil Bishop placed ninth in the 400m and sophomore Edward Wagner was third in the 400mH, while junior Thomas Servino placed sixth in the hammer and sophomore Jacob Shippee took seventh in the javelin.

In Gainesville, Fla., juniors Danielle Barbian and Ashley Collinsworth each broke the school record in the 100m, with times of 11.66 and 11.79, respectively. Barbian's time matched the all-time Ivy League record set by Cornell's Melissa Hewitt in 2010. Barbian and Collinsworth also ran the 4x100m relay with sophomore Autumne Franklin and Sylvia Deppen, crossing the line in 45.84, the fourth-fastest time in League history and a program record.

Next event: Saturday, April 12, Yale at Harvard – Cambridge, Mass.
The Quakers competed in the Sam Howell Invite, where junior Lydia Ali placed second in the 100m and fifth in the 200m.

The men won three events at Princeton: the discus (sophomore Sam Mattis), the javelin (senior Jim Tully) and the 4x400m relay team. Mattis' discus throw of 198-6 set a new second-best all-time Ivy League mark and broke his own school record, as he became the first Quaker to ever eclipse 60 meters. It's the longest throw in Ivy history since Harvard's Nick Sweeney set the all-time mark (205-00) in 1992.

At their own Sam Howell Invite, the Tigers' women's team was led by sophomore Julia Ratcliffe, who set a meet record and came very close to breaking her own Ivy League record in the hammer throw, recording a heave of 225-5. It's the second-best mark in League history, trailing only her own throw from last year of 225-9, and tops in the nation so far this season. Sophomore Meghan McMullin was the runner-up in a pair of events, the 400mH and the 4x400m relay, while freshman Rachael Chacko placed second overall (first among collegiate runners) in the 1,500.

In the field, freshman Allison Harris took third in the pole vault and senior Samantha Anderson was seventh, while sophomores Taylor Morgan and Inka Busack went 5-6 in the high jump. Fellow classmate Sara Ronde took fifth in the long jump.
The men's team won five events, including two by senior Tom Hopkins, who was part of the winning 4x100m relay team and also placed first in the long jump, one of three Tigers among the top-five. Hopkins also was second overall, and first among collegians, in the 200m. Junior Bradley Paternostro finished ahead of 45 other runners in the 1,500m to win, and senior Damon McLean won his signature event, the triple jump, with a mark of 51-3.

The Bulldogs sent athletes to the Stanford and Sam Howell Invites. In Palo Alto, junior Kira Garry broke her own school record in the steeplechase, crossing the line in 10:21.01 to finish eighth in her heat. Fellow classmate Emily Stark finished 23rd in the 10K with a time of 34:51.61, fourth-best in Yale's records book. Sophomore Shannon McDonnell and freshman Emily Waligurski ran well in the 1,500m, as the former finished second in her heat and the latter won her heat. Junior Emily Cable took 13th out of 46 in the 400m dash with a time of 55.71.

Two grants through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will help Perth Amboy homebuyers, homeowners, low-to moderate-income renters, and the homeless find and secure affordable housing, according to U.S. Rep Frank Pallone, Jr.
The Puerto Rican Association for Human Development in Perth Amboy has been awarded a $15,952 grant, and the Housing Authority of the City of Perth Amboy has been awarded a $20,750 grant, according to Pallone, (D-6).
"These grants through HUD's Housing Counseling Assistance Program will help to provide New Jersey's families and individuals with the resources they need to be responsible tenants or homeowners."
Pallone said the grants can support a variety of housing counseling services to homebuyers, homeowners, low- to moderate-income renters, and the homeless.
Counselors provide guidance and advice to help families and individuals improve their housing conditions and meet the responsibilities of tenancy and homeownership. Counselors also help borrowers avoid inflated appraisals, unreasonably high interest rates, unaffordable repayment terms, and other conditions, which can result in a loss of equity, increased debt, default, and eventually foreclosure.
"When New Jerseyans are struggling to keep or secure a home, it's important that they have somewhere to turn for information, options, and advice before they abandon hope," Pallone said in a press release.
Organizations funded through this HUD program may also provide Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) counseling to elderly homeowners who are looking to convert equity in their homes into income that can be used to pay for home improvements, medical costs, living expenses, or other expenses, the release states.
Including the Puerto Rican Association for Human Development and the Housing Authority of the City of Perth Amboy in the Sixth Congressional District, 15 organizations around the state are receiving grants totaling $688,362 through HUD's Housing Counseling Program.
