Vern,

Where are you near Austin? One of my old stomping grounds. Hot?? How hot? I betcha it's not that hot but hot and humid. It's been a bit hot here as we've had a few days above 106 F. Up to 105 if the humidity is around 15% or below it's not hot at all, except for gringos. However, we are in our monsoon season now so the humidity is far above 15% but only for certain parts of the day; nothing like Texas and the South.

On the ASP side, I've used regular ASP, but not with .NET and the .ASP didn't seem that bad although I'm amazed at how far behind programming is in the way of design and productivity tools for web apps or perhaps I'm missing something. If I'm not missing something, Web development is where midrange and mainframe development was in the 1960-70; very brute force.

Thanks,

Dave

According to Richard, my boss, ASP.net is a piece of cake for web pages. He has done presentations at COMMON on this and VB.net - maybe he'll chime in here -I'm still officially on vacation but clearing my email backlog.

It's hot here near Austin!!

From: "Dave Odom" <Dave.Odom@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

for creating web pages that access DB2/400 for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE
operations? I'm talking about basic web development from scratch, not calling
RPG, nor screen scraping existing Display Files; fresh web development. The
beginning web pages will be simple, no fancy presentation 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,

Dave Odom
