Re: Would you take a complimentary course on HTML from a company whose website looked like this?

For all we know the source behind gotomeeting page was auto-generated code (or at least partially auto-generated). The source behind BCD's home page is better. At any rate, like Mike said earlier, the only way to fairly judge the quality of the webinar is to attend it.

I also agree with Vern: the excellent tutorials at www.w3schools.com are probably just as good or better than the webinar in terms of the information provided. Yet, some people are auditory learners and want to hear the information from a live teacher. They will also have the benefit of being able to ask questions.

I think these posts do raise an interesting question of how RPG/COBOL/CL programmers should be retrained in IBM i modernization. Do we really expect people who are great at developing RPG and COBOL programs to be great at designing web pages as well?

The ugly part isn't necessarily how the page looks, it's the HTML behind that page.

Shoot me, but I don't think it looks that bad. I guess I have spent too many
years with 5250.
I guess we don't' care if it works or flows well, or how long it takes to
bring the page up, just how pretty it is.
That is the difference is taking wares to the market now I guess. It HAS to
look good first.
