RE: iSeries Education

That is all that our technical college is teaching. Sys Ops and RPG with
maybe one assignment with embedded SQL. I think they are starting to teach
ILE now. I think part of the problem is the knowledge of the instructors.
The instructor I had was (I would guess) late 40s to 50s. Not saying he is
too old to learn new things, but I don't think he would explore into the
Websphere too much, if at all. They do teach SQL and DB2 there, just at the
mainframe level, not the AS400 level.

the other day Newswire reported ibm's Partner in Education program with
colleges/universities now has over 430 partners, many with "latest
equipment" (270's). I know at least 1 (Univ of Miami) offering "heavier"
courses, like WebSphere, DB2, SQL, not just RPG. Is it the same around the
country? Our local community college is listed, but still only rpg and sys
operation.
Curious
