Keeping your skills current in today’s world is becoming increasingly challenging. There are too many new technologies being developed, and little time to learn them all. The DB2<\/a>\u00ae on Campus Book Series has been developed to minimize the time and effort required to learn many of these new technologies.<\/p>\n This book is intended for anyone who works with or intends to develop database applications such as application developers, consultants, software architects, instructors, and students. It is a good reference as well for database administrators (DBAs) and product managers.<\/p>\n This book is closely related to the eBook Getting Started with DB2 Express-C<\/a>; it expands the application development chapters covered in that book. In fact, Chapter 1 and 2 are taken directly from the application development chapters in that book as they provide a good overview of DB2 application development. Chapter 3 discusses server-side programming such as stored procedures, and functions. In this chapter IBM\u00ae Data Studio software is used extensively, therefore this eBook is also closely related to eBook<\/a> Getting Started with IBM Data Studio for DB2. Starting with Chapter 4 the book describes in detail client-side programming for different programming languages such as JavaTM<\/a>, C\/C++<\/a>, .NET, Ruby on Rail, PHP, Perl, and Python.<\/p>\n Exercises are provided with most chapters; any input files required are provided in the zip file Exercise_Files_DB2_Application_Development.zip accompanying this book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who should read this book?<\/h4>\n
