- COURSE DESCRIPTION:
- This course provides programmers and application
developers with the information needed to build complex OS/2 2.0
applications. Lectures and hands-on labs, with sample programs
written in C language, teach you how to build applications that use
advanced OS/2 2.0 functions and techniques.
- COURSE FORMAT:
- This is a hands-on course.
- WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE:
- Programmers and application developers.
This course is not recommended for nonprogrammers.
- COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- After completing this course, the student will be
able to:
- Use the IBM Developer's WorkFrame/2 programming environment to
build complex OS/2 Presentation Manager applications including
dynamic link libraries
- Understand how messages are used to communicate between windows,
processes, and threads
- Build OS/2 Version 2 applications that:
- Use 32-bit flat memory allocations
- Use multiple child windows
- Use window words to allocate window data areas
- Use new multi-thread and semaphore functions
- Make full use of the IPF help functions
- Call GPI functions to build complex graphics
- PREREQUISITES:
- Before taking this course, the student must be able to:
- Write C language programs. A working knowledge of C language is
required to gain the most benefits from the lab exercises. These
skills can be developed by taking various programming language
courses offered by IBM or by having equivalent job experience.
- Code, compile, link, and execute simple OS/2 Presentation Manager
programs that use standard windows and dialog boxes. These skills
can be developed by taking Introduction to OS/2 2.0 Programming
(P1044).
- COURSE LENGTH:
- 5 days
