Guillermo,

Like I said:

I'm talking about basic web development from scratch,

not calling RPG, nor screen scraping existing Display Files; fresh web
development.

The only thing that would be on the host is the data and stored procedures or perhaps DB2 Query Manager queries called from the Web.

Dave,

if you know RPG and (a little at least) html.css.js, and you have plans for
stay in the as400 plattform.... why asking for any more?

RPG or RPG+SQL in the host
HTML+CSS (+ some JS) in the client side

all into your control; call programs, dtaara, dtaq, CL, commands, ovrdbf,
CPF control, and so on, nothing new under the sun.

for awhile. I'd like to store the web objects on the i but that may no
longer be the best place.

I'd like to use what is in our current IBM i or MickySoft environment, not
buy some new development tool, if at all possible. I'm used to working in
HTML, ASP, javascript and the like. I wouldn't mind Using WebSphere, as we
have it, but fear the learning curve might be too long. Opinions please.

Thank you,
