Re: IBM Developerworks ceasing this December

There is talk about it going to the IBM Community page; at least what one IBMer posted to LUG; but the short notice makes it very difficult and it really comes across as if too many were caught by surprise. I would love to see PDF of the content be generated. Going to be real annoying all the future broken searches through Google when trying to find API/UDTF information

I was talking to several IBMers about this over the last few days. They are pretty disgusted and working to get things changed - but I'm not holding my breath.

It is not just the cafes that are going away - it basically all of Developerworks. Basically the only place in IBM (beyond the raw manuals) that has any useful information. All of Scott Forstie's SQL stuff will vanish as will all articles contributed by folks such as Birgitta.

Good idea to grab a tool such as Evernote and capture all the useful pages there that you reference 'cos they may not be there much longer. As far as I can tell there are no real alternatives in place to replace it all.

It is classic idiotic IBM - instituted by a management that is basically clueless about computers and what you need to know to run them. Imagine the stink if MS pulled stunt like this!

Oh dear. It looks as though all that Very Useful information on the RPG Cafe and RDi Hub is about to disappear.

Nice one, IBM.
