Very well stated John. I learned CGI-RPG prior to Brad's book (actually from
his earlier articles in MC). This is an excellent first step. Net.Data is worth
checking out. Using Net.Data and RPG is very much like using JSP and
Java servlets (JavaBeans). Put your HTML in Net.Data and then call your
RPG for the dynamic content. Your RPG still writes to standard out and
it's inserted into the page at the point of your call. Learning all of these
things first, really made learning servlets simple.
