Re: Want to learn Java and the 400

["Steve Landess" <steve_landess@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob -
You don't need an AS/400 to develop a Java application.  In fact, it may
impede your learning process...

Why not just download the free JDK stuff from Sun's web site and at least
start learning on a PC?  Once you have a better knowledge of Java, then
maybe get a small AS/400 and port the application to the AS/400.

This way you'll enhance your skills even more by knowing Java on two
different platforms.

> I am interested in expanding my technical limited skill set. I need time
and hands on, and since I am unemployed the only way I can think of, is to
buy a 400, with Java and develope a small app or program. I can't learn just
from a book. So my question is what costs am I looking at? There are also
time sharing possibilities, but I would prefer the ownership of a machine,
but maybe that is not so important. Someone please enlighten me in this
matter.
