Project and Program: Application Architecture Development and Integration, LE and Programming Languages

Tags: Proceedings , SHARE Phoenix 2019 , 2019

Node.js is a server-side JavaScript runtime environment that has seen an explosive growth in recent years. With the availability of the IBM SDK for Node.js - z/OS, developers can use the popular JavaScript language on z/OS and tap into the wealth of JavaScript developer talent and resources. This session will demonstrate how a developer can use Node.js as a way to augment existing IBM Z application to provide a timely response to customer requirements driven by digital transformation.  The session also includes a demo of how a COBOL application was extended to use REST APIs to call new functions and services written in Node.js on z/OS.-Yves Tolod-IBM
