RE: 'green screen' not sellable --> WE(?) are the problem

Wasn't it Al Barsa who introduced the *SPENDMONEY parameter?

I am with Thomas on this. What a wonderful opportunity that would be to
have a development spot, using all the tools including RDi, to do some
simple projects? I wanted to do that with my "Ice Cream Project" but
frankly, I just didn't know how to do it.

What if everyone that had a solution did a simple example. Say a subfile
type example of adding, updating, and deleting a record. Did the example

in

your new coding style, product, etc.

Posted the code to help everyone have some references.

Getting any information on a working example from ZEND is hard. One thing
that holds many programmers back is solutions are smoke and mirrors. We
need the details. I would be willing to help pay for the $50 to %100 a
month where we could put the examples. Maybe some consulting group or
vendor might want to host the site. People need working examples to start
from. Not marketing whatif's.

Off the top of my head I could think of

1. Zend PHP example.
2. C#.Net example
3. RPG Open Access
4. Whatever tools vendors may have or your consulting company pitches

As I said let us keep this simple. Small file that has records being
modified, deleted, and added to that resembles subfile functionality.

From what I have seen on the blog so far everyone has debated that need

skills need to be learned. Okay let us get a way for those skills to be
acquired.
