Re: AJAX...

Greg,

There was a very good article a few months back in iSeries magazine
comparing the different tools/methodologies/languages for creating Web
applications talking to the i5.  I can look for it if you like but the
gist seemed to be that CGI and the like were the legacy ways of
developing Web apps, PHP was quick but got messy when you tried to build
complex apps or expand/extend what you started. While there were several
other languages discussed, the article seemed to say if your building
serious apps and for the long-haul, stick with Java or .NET not only
because of their popularity but because they seem to be the most robust,
mature and extensible AND you can find more resources for same.

FWIW,

Dave Odom

I have no experience with AJAX but I am interested in hearing your
opinion 
on different Web development options. I'm new to this list and I've
read 
some of the recent threads. I know that you have been doing some
research 
and some hands-on experimenting. Have you decided on CGIDEV or still 
looking? Have you looked at other RPG-based solutions like IceBreak,
RPGsp, 
JACi400, etc.? Please excuse me for expanding this thread.
