## ✈️ IBM Bob with Premium Package for i : End to End Demo (Flight400)

> This end-to-end Flight400 demo is intended for building and delivering client demonstrations. **Dear customer, demand your demo now ヅ !!**

The **Flight400** demo showcases the full Premium Package for i experience on a simple but realistic IBM i application — from legacy green-screen RPG to a modern, AI-assisted development workflow. Use it as a live, story-driven reference to illustrate the value of Bob PPi.

🔗 Repository: [flight400-demo](https://github.com/bmarolleau/flight400-demo/blob/main/README.md)

### Which application should I use?

| | Flight400 | SAMCO |
|---|---|---|
| **Best for** | Quick demos, half-day workshops, first PPi contact | 3h+ workshops, mixed-language apps |
| **Languages** | RPG (OPM/ILE), DDS | RPG, COBOL, CL, C, C++, DDS, SQL |
| **Code location** | Native IBM i libraries (QSYS) — direct PPi connection, no extra scripting | Local workspace / Git — requires setup scripts to sync to source members |
| **Setup** | Restore via SQL script, duplicate with `CPYLIB` per user | See [build instructions](./lab01_ibm-bob-ibmi-labs.md#building-the-application) |
| **Repo** | [flight400-demo](https://github.com/bmarolleau/flight400-demo) | this repo |

> **Flight400** lives natively in IBM i libraries — the primary PPi differentiator is that users connect directly to their IBM i source files from the Bob IDE, with no workspace sync required. This makes it the go-to choice for showing PPi features. For multi-user setups (shared LPAR), restore the app once then run `CPYLIB FROMLIB(FLGHT400) TOLIB(FLIGHT401)` (and so on) so each participant gets their own isolated copy.

> 💡 **Instructor notes:** Installation scripts are in the [setup directory](./setup/). SAMCO build instructions are [here](./lab00_ibm-bob-ibmi-labs.md#building-the-application).
