Re: Recommendations For Reading Material

    Hi Ron,

    From the responses so far, you probably have enough reading for a couple
of days.    ;-)

    I thought I would add some other options.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/

has Java, WebSphere and other zones and is a great source of articles and
tutorials.  As always, for IBM related material, redbooks are worth
browsing:

http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/Portals/WebSphere

    Also, Sun, while obviously not aimed at WebSphere, also has lots of
portable material at:

http://java.sun.com/

    Some other suggestions:  I noticed that your web site already uses
servlets ( index.jsp ).  I'd expect that team, whether or not they use
WebSphere, would be a big help.  Also, you might check around for AS/400 and
Java user groups in your area.  If your employer would spring for it, a
mentor who could help with your first few projects would be very worthwhile
in your position.  Learning yourself by trial and error is often the best
way to learn something, but it's also the longest.  Good luck,

> Hello all,

> Any ideas where I could start my re-education?
