RE: VAJAVA vs CODE/400

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Joe,

What do you consider serious Java development? If a requirement of a
project is a GUI, would you use java for this, or something like VARPG or
VB? Granted the examples with which I am working will never see production.
They are merely learning projects. However, there may be a need for
something like this in the future.

I am trying to climb out of the chasm that is traditional green screen
programming. I'm trying to at least introduce my self to more cutting edge
technologies. However, if these technologies will not be employed in my
current environment, then maybe I should focus my efforts elsewhere.

My company and this industry in general does not yet have a large presence
on the Internet. Moreover, we are heavily committed to EDI, so there is not
a big push for me to become fluent with XML.

Maybe I need to step back and see the forest despite the trees.

Thanks,

Mark
