Beginning web development-a cease fire (or at least take a time out to reload)

I think anybody interested in WWW issues knows some HTML and has a nodding
acquaintance with JavaScript; some might have even tangled with the CCP-like
HTTP API's.  JSP's are a little more mysterious (to me, anyway); maybe it's
because I haven't pursued getting myself educated.

Brad and Joe, why don't you agree on a common application to code, code it
using your preferred techniques, and make your working examples available to
the rest of us?  First agree on the HTML "look" and then have at the
application using your best techniques.  A customer master entry/update
program, perhaps, with error messages handling, soft-coded values for
various status fields, and a multi-screen inquiry program might be
representative examples.  I have a pretty good idea of what a classic
RPG/HTML application might look like (having already done my own), although
Brad would likely provide several new concepts and methodologies (his book
is great).  The JSP-replacing-DDS concept is provocative and seeing an
example of Joe's code would be a real education.

Most of us will end up tinkering with the code in an attempt to sharpen our
skills.

These examples won't end the argument, of course...you'll just have more
allies!

Regards,
RF
