RE: RPG.NET

> If you're willing to use the iSeries like a large database

But the iSeries is NOT a large database, and should not be used as one.
It is a business rules repository, because as most architecture texts
will agree, you should not distribute your business rules to the
desktop.


> And you can't use your .NET code in ASP.NET pages for what reason?

Because it locks me into ASP.  A side note: as far as I can tell,
Microsoft is losing HTTP server market share out there and has been
since 2002.


> Have you looked at Visual Studio.NET?

Not since the beta, Walden.  I can't justify spending $1000 for a
non-standard web development platform, although I'd probably be willing
to look at it if I were doing desktop application development (which is
what I've said all along - Microsoft is fine for desktop applications,
provided you're not worried about platform independence).
