Re: AW: Tool to Modernize IBMi Screens into GUI

IBM correctly set the direction.

They've been saying "API API API" for about 15 years in both IBM i space and mainframe space.

They've dedicated what, for Rochester, amounts to a startling amount of resources to Open Source for over a decade.

AND DID WE LISTEN ... by and large, No. So off spit-spot to your beds without supper!

Happy New Year. Now get busy, factor your legacy applications into service programs, put an API face on them, and write your web applications off-platform calling those APIs.

"And no nonsense out of you, hear?!" 🙂

"it is IBM's job to set the direction"? I don't disagree at all ... but
I fear that boat sailed long ago. Maybe part of the problem is the
community didn't get on board as the boat left port? Who knows ... we
are where we are.
