RE: FW: Java Vs RPG on iSeries

[meovino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We're all carpenters, and Java is just another tool in our toolbox.  It's
like saying a hammer is better than a screwdriver.  It's better at
somethings (driving nails) and worse at others (driving screws).  No one
language is better at all things than any other.

Dieter, I'm one of the biggest advocates of Java on the iSeries, and have
been for years.  I've written two different commercial products that use
Java.  I've taught on the subject all over the world - I even taught
classes
to IBM in Tel Aviv.  I've given seminars, sessions at COMMON and even
written a book on using Java with the iSeries.  I author a monthly
WebSphere
column for MCMagOnline.
