And that's a fine thing, but it's limiting to one platform. Nothing wrong
with that, but RPG and web skills are transportable to nothing. PHP or Java
skills are transportable to anything.

Sounds good. That was one thought I hoped to plant. As a follow-on
thought, it
concerns me that RPG programmers still look to Java, PHP, and .Net, for Web
application development. They often site "popularity" as a reason. We're
doing
a lot of new development in RPG, interfacing with browsers, and it
frustrates me
to hear about peers switching to other languages. I'd like to see more
programmers using RPG for Web application development.
