Frankly, that one is huge in my book.  If I were a business with some
IT skill and not much cash, I'd use PHP, mySQL and a cheap web hosting
account from some place like GoDaddy.  That's why PHP has such a
following.

If I were writing fat client apps, I'd probably download Sun's Java
IDE and use that.  Now there is IBM's VARPG and ASNA's VRPG, but
neither get much press and both cost $$.  Programmers like to play
when they learn (that's how I learned), but the iSeries and RPG are a
pretty pricey playground.
