Session title: Robert’s Db2 for z/OS Blog: Best of the Blog, Volume 1
Session abstract: I started blogging about Db2 for z/OS back in 2007, while working as an independent consultant, and launched my current blog, “Robert’s Db2 blog,” when I rejoined IBM in 2010. That blog gets a lot of page views, and has been enthusiastically received by people in the Db2 for z/OS user community. In this session, I’ll present material drawn from selected entries in my Db2 blog – posts for which reader feedback has been especially positive, and entries that cover topics that I find to be particularly interesting. This is the first time that I have done a Tridex session based on my blog – I hope that attendees will find it to be worth their time.
