Version 10 of the looksoftware development suite has many improvements over previous development environments and with those improvements come different approaches to accomplishing familiar tasks.
Most developers using or planning to use version 10 within their IBM i Development Environment, will be coming from earlier product versions, so this blog post will focus on the major changes you can expect to your development environment.

There are multiple aspects to the application modernization process, and also many varied means of implementation and delivery.
From extending the life of your existing applications, leveraging your business logic, developing new functionality, to taking advantage of today's mobile devices and the Cloud, there are so many options available.

Capturing IBM i host screens
Often there will be a need to view and work with IBM i host screens offline when a live connection to the host is not available. In these instances looksoftware provides the facility to capture host screen information in a discrete file that can then be loaded offline. The captured host screens are stored with a file extension of (.nl).
Working offline removes the constraints of always having to have a live connection during development. nl host screen captures are a complete capture of the host screen information and therefore can be viewed in either GUI or emulator view. This is particularly useful for offline demonstrations and early development work.

Time to upgrade your looksoftware solutions? Here are some things to consider when you are planning for an upgrade.
We often get requests from customers for upgrade documentation. We don’t normally prepare formal documentation for version upgrades as the process is fairly simple.

In my top 10, I have resisted the urge to cover everything I thought was important or it would probably have become a "Top 326 tips".
That said, here are some of the core things to think about; the thought process, modern paradigms and so on.

First of all Happy New Year!
This is a difficult post for me to write. Even though the topic is something I am passionate about and know inside out, it is also the part of my job (and part of modernization) that people ignore and value the least, as per the feedback I get and see (or don't for the most part).
