Intervento tecnico da definire. Bruce Armstrong, Appeon MVP
15:45 Integrating AI into PB applications + The dream of a web application from PB: two worlds no longer parallel thanks to generative-AI (intervento in Italiano)
AI is now a daily assistant in software development, and much can already be done in PB for code production. However, runtime use is different. End users interact with PB applications, and AI can support decision-making and application collaboration processes. This session discusses how our PB application can benefit from AI by sending prompts and JSON data to AI engines to analyze the effectiveness of tasks performed. Daniele Antonelli, HMS Consulting / Marco Meoni, Appeon MVP
Let’s be honest: who never hoped that the next version of PB would offer easy full-web deployment? Appeon Web and PowerServer have brought the concept of Installable Web App and Installable Cloud App within everyone’s reach, applications that can be accessed from a web server. But full web also means zero-installation and cross-platform. In this session, you’ll learn how in two weeks it was possible to transform a specific module of a large PowerServer application, but intended for a general user base, into a full-web application thanks to generative-AI. Gabriele Bacci, HMS Consulting / Marco Meoni Appeon MVP
16:15 Implementing Single Sign-On with PowerBuilder
Learn how to use an OAuth provider to implement single sign-on. Topics covered include implementing the OAuth provider in a Docker hosted Authentik instance; however, the technique is pretty much the same for any OAuth provider. Bruce Armstrong, Appeon MVP
