RE: WebSphere Development ToolSet and a beginner

Thank you Joe and Buck for you comments.  I have good attitude towards studying
new things so there is no problem.  The challenge we all have is to provide
solutions in a timely, accurate and effective manner, as everybody wants.

"1. Do you need a "webby" interface, or is the 5250-style interface sufficient?"

"Webby" is the word.  I will be using the browser (IE Explorer 5.5)

"2. Are you developing intranet, extranet or Internet applications?  (That is,
are your users local, on a WAN/VPN, or surfing in off the web?)"

Intranet.

"3. What are your skill sets, and are you willing to learn more?"
Absolutely that I want to learn more!  I have been working with RPG since 1987.
Worked on S36, AS400 and now iSeries.  Since 2001 I have been exposed to the
world of CGIs, HTMLs, Net.Data and on the last weeks, Javascript.  No training,
mentors around, just books and forums like this (thank God for those!).

 Sometimes that is why is so hard to be creative and effective in meeting goals,
specially  when you have a book in front of you and look for something, test it,
does not work, go back to the book and then, at the end of the day, you realize
that you need that set of instructions in a different place on the CGI or just
to change it to another function.... who knows!

I just wanted to share my inquietudes with you guys... thanks again!
