The truth is that the major part of iSeries programmers dosn't fit in to
iNetwork, Midrange.com or whatever - they are highly skilled in their
applications and may be resonable good programmers, but is either not
aware, has no experience or has fear to join a forum amoung so called
experts that in best case gives them three lines of code (with a lot
is expected to be understod) where the actually wanted an example.
In other words, they are "holistic", programming is only a matter of
reaching the overall goal - to do their job or achive their goals.
If you look back in the EASY400GROUP, Jon, you will find that many of
my examples is based on "working examples" or actual solutions, I never
answer people with one statement of code where they have to figure the
rest out for themselves.
Join a forum/channel/newsgroup which handles some mainstream programming language and provide a working example for some trivial task/question and you'll find yourself being slapped for that. Why? Because joining a forum/channel/etc is also about learning and not just about letting other people do the work.
My experience so far tells me that RPG Programmers are a lazy bunch (exceptions prove the rule).
