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.

In a previous blog, Finally RPG gets the control it always wanted on IBM i, we looked at some of the benefits of multi-tier architecture provided by Open Access. It's time to revisit the subject in a bit more detail and examine the ways we can leverage these multi-tier benefits with UI metadata definition.
Metadata is information about your I/O fields. It is possible to have metadata within the DDL or your DDS that describes your display file. You can also have metadata that describes elements for a new device or resource your OA handler is connected to.

For some RPG developers, Open Access (OA) is considered new technology, for others it is viewed as new architecture. Simply defining OA is a difficult task because it can do so much, including refacing, refactoring and/or new development of applications.
In this post we examine the way OA enables control of new elements within your application. We also look at how to transtion to a true multi-tier architecture.

I am concerned when listening to the luminaries in the IBM i community talking about what can be done with web apps vs. hybrid vs. native. I really wish these guys would 'pony up' buy some books and learn the facts.
With status comes responsibility and luminaries are trusted by many, their word is gospel or pretty close. So when talking about topics where they have little knowledge they pass on half truths, miss what's possible or even worse bend the truth to the tune of what they wish to sell you, this upsets me greatly.
