As some of you may or may not be aware, the Rational Developer for i product team provides a set of guided learning exercises free of charge. The PDFs and SAVF for these labs are available on the [How to Learn RDi](http://ibm.biz/rdi_labs) page.
Demonstration Server
IBM supplies a pre-configured environment on a publically available IBM i partition to work through these labs. You can be assigned a user profile and password on the machine and you have a week to complete the labs. The demonstration server 'embox1.demos.ibm.com' that has been used for many years has now gone into retirement. Consequently we have moved the demonstration server to 'common1.frankeni.com'. We have also updated the web page providing team assignment and password http://ibm.biz/rdi_labs_getuserid
Big thanks to Larry Bolhuis of Frankeni Technology Consulting LLC and Pete Massiello of iTech Solutions for their generosity in letting us host the labs on their public IBM i.
Lab contents updateWe have refreshed all of the materials in the labs to the latest version of RDi which is 9.6.0.10. You can see what is new for each release
here.
New content was added such as a section in
Lab04 about *Conditional Service Entry Breakpoints*.
