RE: Programming where to go next?

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve, you bring up a point I hadn't considered.  It would seem the ideal
introduction to iSeries newbies would be to not even introduce them to
development using PDM, SEU, SDA, etc.  Train them right off on WDSCi and
never even let them touch the green-screen dev tools.  Boy, that sounds like
an idea for a book / conference opportunity.  Do Jon & Susan do on-site
seminars like that?
