Webinar: Using and providing Web Services
Most people have already heard about ‘Service-Oriented Architecture’ (SOA). IT magazines and websites tell you that SOA can help your business to reduce costs and increase program development output but very few explain how to do so.The latest United Planet webinar intends to correct this situation. “Using and providing Web Services” will explain how to create your own ‘Service-Oriented Architecture’ with Intrexx in a few simple steps. Learn how to integrate foreign data, to use external services and information, and to flexibly embed new functions into your Enterprise Portal via Web Services.
All you need to take part in this free webinar is a web browser, an internet connection and 30 minutes of your time! Register now!
Workshop: Language dependent references
Language dependent references can help businesses to create a multilingual portal very fast. By referencing data-groups with more than one primary key, and the use of a session variable on the foreign key, a reference can be made language dependent. This makes it possible to display data (for example a status) in the language of the user currently logged in.
