Re: What's the latest thinking of the best two or threeweb development languages/environ... -- WEB400

If your choices are winding down to PHP or WebSphere I'd point out that with
PHP you have to throw a lot less resources at it just to get started. You
can get it here: http://www.zend.com/en/products/core/for-i5os

Gotchas would probably revolve around it being new on the i. There's another
thread going about performance tuning on a much more complex system than
what you're talking about.

Alfredo,

Sounds good for further investigation. I know a little about PHP but have
just heard ZendCore mentioned on here. What's it all take to get and set
up and get developing? Gotchas?

Thanks,

Dave

How about getting ZendCore ($0) and writing PHP? You can start just using
it
where you need it in a procedural manner and if things take off then you
can
d/l or build something more complex. Calling RPG programs and making other
system calls will also be waiting in the i5 toolkit for when you need it.

for creating web pages that access DB2/400 for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and

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,
