RE: Getting started with WebSphere

[Adele Cavalli <adele_cavalli@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan,
I've already installed Tomcat and designed a few pages using jsp and servlets 
with access to db2. I'm quite a beginner and most of the pages are a copy and 
paste from other works with some customization.
However I was interested to learn more about WS. We have the WSDT for Iseries 
(legal copy!!) but I wanted to practice at home because at work I can't. I saw 
that there are trials for WSAppServer express for Windows, WSApplDev and a lot 
of redbooks, but I asked here to have some suggestion in order to download and 
start in the easiest way and to avoid dowloading useless material.
Adele.

hmmm... You could run Tomcat at home.... It's not Websphere but the concepts 
are similar. 

If you're looking to get into web development with java, Tomcat is an excellent 
choice and the price is right!

Also, I think the Java Development Kit (JDK) Enterprise Edition has something 
built in. I think it's Tomcat,
actually.... 

If you're looking to administer Websphere, nothing beats actually owning the 
product. Not sure about how the trial
versions work (I've never had too much success with them). 

HTH!
