So,
unprepared or just a dramatic failure of the product?

[WDSCI-L] User group meeting last night in Dallas






User group meeting last night in Dallas was interesting but distressing to
an IBM bigot such as myself.  The presentation was   eServer Studio
Development (IDE) IBM WebSphere  versus  Microsoft VisualStudio.Net  and 
was
billed as being as " An unbiased live demonstration of both these products
will be presented and will be processed on an IBM eServer i5." 

It was the best attended meeting of the year, by far.  Nearly everything
went well and we all learned a great deal and it was a positive 
experience. 


However, Wepsphere failed.  We could see exciting pieces of it, but it is
just too complicated to use apparently.  I came away shaking my head and
wondering why it has to be so complicated and over-engineered, or 
something.
 Once the first piece of the project failed, the speaker's attempts to
recover the demonstration just led to a cascading of problems, and finally
all communication with the iSeries was lost.

I have to admit that VisualStudio looked simplistic to the eye, but gosh, 
it
worked.
