COMMON: Class on using Visual Studio to Create Native iSeries Web Apps

Actually you're correct that I am covering the Grasshopper stuff. 

I won't be covering this in the high level class, but what I like about it 
is that you can create classes in VB or C# that compile down to standard 
JAR files, so the same classes can be used in Java or JSP. 

In fact the DB driver being used to talk to the iSeries will be good old 
stable/fast JT400. 

You can also use Java classes in Visual Studio as well. Talk about going 
both ways :-)

The other nice thing is that Grasshopper is FREE for companies deploying 
in a small workgroup environment via Tomcat. 

If you're going to be at COMMON, let's catch up.

I assume you're using Grasshopper.  It's a pretty cool deployment of Mono.
Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure I'd want to bet my business on Mono and
Mainsoft.  It's definitely something to dabble with, but my guess is that
they won't work and play well with Vista for some time; it's taken them 
this
long to create something that works with the current .NET framework.
