Re: Recommendations of web developmentarchitecture/tool for diverse i5 access...

Aren't you "painting yourself into a corner" using System i only products?

What better corner to be painted into is what I say! :-)

Seriously, if the System i5 can offer a programming framework that is
feature rich, easy to use and lead edge wouldn't the fact that it only ran
on the System i5 be a non-issue? Note that I don't think CGIDEV2 is all of
the aforementioned, just wanted to point out that your problem seems to be
more around the language and framework vs. the platform/OS, am I correct?

While developing in .NET may be great and all, aren't you painting
yourself into a corner using M$ only products?

My experience in using CGIDEV2 has been wonderful...we've converted all

of

our webfaced apps to CGI and haven't looked back...users have no
complaints whatsoever about performance or look & feel...

Shane,

It's difficult to play the "MS only" and closed-system card when you then go
on to explain how you like CGIDEV2. Where are you planning on running the
CGIDEV2 programs besides the System i? Aren't you "painting yourself into a
corner" using System i only products?
