This course provides experienced LANSA developers with the techniques required to build a LANSA for the Web application using Web Application Modules or WAMs. WAMs are a component-based web technology used for building applications for the Internet or other networks. WAMs use an XML/XSL technology and offer the ability to deliver content in multiple formats such as HTML, WML, or XML from a single WAM component. During this course students learn how to use the WAM features including WebRoutines, Weblets, layouts and the XSL Editor. An introduction to HTML and XML/XSL concepts is included, but detailed XML/XSL knowledge is not required for WAM development The course shows how WAM application development can improve productivity through component reuse, and how Web Application Modules are ideal for separating business rules from presentation.

Duration: 5 Days
Prerequisites: Students must also have basic RDML and Visual LANSA development skills. Familiarity with Properties, Events and Methods is important to understanding WAM development. LANSA Fundamentals Workshop and prior Visual LANSA Training or Visual LANSA Forms Workshop is required. (Experience with LANSA for the Web WEBEVENT Functions is not required.)
