Re: WDSC vs SEU RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Aaron,

I would be happy to add that if you wish. I would expect that if you 
followed the others, this would fall into place.

On the other hand, all I said was: "Here is a longer list off the top of my 
head". Midrange-L is not really the place where I provide the complete list 
of all programming practices to which I subscribe.

Last year, I wrote a suggested developer roadmap and posted it to Angus 
(http://www.angustheitchap.com/Angus/Roadmap.html). It was not complete - 
just a starting point. And thinking about it now, I am planning on changing 
it. Should I do that there, or post it here? Along with my programming 
disciplines? :-)

Trevor
