Both of these books are from a Java perspective though correct? If
I'm not interested in moving to Java how would they help me use WDSC
with RPG?

WDSC: Step by Step will walk you through not only the Java side butalso the

RPG side of WDSC.  It's not in-depth, but it's enough to get past the
initial hurdle.

I guess when I was looking for this kind of book I didn't find it indepth enough for me. Fair enough.

  My "scare tactics" are no more than telling you what IBM has
been saying: the development dollars for tools will be pushed to
WDSC rather
than SEU.

Great! then where are the goodies?

I can't even imagine what you mean by this. WDSC is an incredibletool with

tons of goodies.  It just doesn't have YOUR particular goodie.

Isn't that the point? Shouldn't it have all the goodies necessary todevelop a complete iSeries app? I' m not asking for anything more.

I don't get to pick the machine I'm given. A small handicap for those
who work for someone other than themselves. And how do I justify a
new computer when the one I've been using for three yars will allow
me to work fine AND WDSC is still not complete?

If you (or your employer) can't afford a $700 PC, then you need tostick

with SEU.

Interesting. I should stick with SEU even though IBM will abandon it.because my employer will not invest 700 for me to use a "free" tool.

Heck, none of the green screen diehards would even use WDSC, so why
do you think IBM would bother creating an SDA replacement?

None of them? Are there stats to back this up or are you using
hyperbole? I know plenty of green screen diehards who would use WDSC
if it were usable.

When WDSC first came out, there was (and still is) huge pushbackfrom the

green screen developers community.

When it first came out, yes. And why? because it was not complete.Hell even CODE had more editor features at that time. JLPEX has onlyrecently caught up.

AND IT'S ALL FREE.

Free? Please. Like roads are free and police protection is free. It
gets paid for its just a matter of how.


Ah, nevermind.

Agreed.
