The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Not to long ago, we decided to go to Visual Age RPG for new interface
development. However, we're reanalyzing the language decision though
we'd still like to go with a non-green-screen interface. So I have a
few questions.
1. Can anyone recommend any sites that compare the pros and cons of
Browser-based applications vs .exe type applications. Apparently my web
searching skills have failed me with this one.
I think the best choices are asp.net or windows forms .net. Both are
available for little no charge - all you need is a Windows PC. Add
Visual Studio to be most productive. Both let you program either VB
or C#, two outstanding languages. the .NET framework is comprehensive
- the same language and framework is used for web, desktop and office
( excel ) applications. With ODBC access to your as400 database and
applications, there is little you cant do from C# that you can from
RPG.
the choice then becomes web or desktop. I think coding is easier in
desktop apps, but it is hard to argue against the quick deployment
possible from a web based appl.
