At International i-Power 2015, Pete Samways presented a hands-on workshop entitled 'Running open source products on your IBM i'.
As the IBM i is a more open platform than it has ever been, it has become an excellent platform for running and developing web and mobile applications. In this practical workshop, attendees were guided through the process of installing and running open source PHP applications on their IBM i such as Drupal, Magento, WordPress, Mantis Bug Tracker and Sugar CRM. The session included live and guided demonstrations of installing Zend Server, Zend DBi and the applications themselves from a .zpk or from source.
Download the slides from the workshop to find out about more about Zend Server, some top tips for configuring Zend Server, what open source is, why PHP for open source and the advantages of PHP on the IBM i.
