The Target Management Project provides toolkits and frameworks for seamless access to remote computing resources - from embedded devices to mainframe hosts. In this tutorial, we will show how the TM APIs can be used to write tools for common operations on remote systems in a platform-neutral manner. Along the way, attendees will get to know the basic TM architecture. Examples will start from creating connections programmatically, touch APIs for upload, remote execution and download, and event handling.

After this tutorial, attendees who want to create their own tools based on TM will have a good base to start from, as well as the knowledge to understand and search for additional help in the other TM examples that exist (adding new system types, subsystems, wizard pages, and custom filters).

Special emphasis will be given on new components like the Target Commonication Framework (TCF) and other upcoming enhancements. An outlook on future and current plans with a short Q&A session will round up the tutorial.

In addition to the Presentation Slides and Example Projects (1MB), the Prebuilt TCF Code and Agent (3.4MB) are now also available.
