*Hi Rick,*
*I think the same, a new language can't be learned in a few days or in spare
time.*
*or at least you can't be proficiency in.*
*
*
*is for this I really think that the best approach for us the as400 guys is
using the same we knows in the server arena: RPG IV (free with free embebed
sql) with some help of CL and DB2 knowledge and using the real compatible
stuff in the browser arena: html + css + js (or even better some js library
as jquery).*
*Understand of the basic concepts of ajax is a must, also.*
*
*
*We don't need to compete creating the new one facebook or google docs
applications, we "only" need to create an "not so modern" browser GUI for
business applications.*
*Later, in phase II we will improve the usability or even other finest
touch.*
*
*
*Best Wishes.*
*Guillermo.*

Sorry for the late post. I have been out of the office.

As someone who is fortunate enough to do quite a bit of under the radar R&D
(sounds better) I am not a big fan of trying to get things done at lunch.
It seems to be a favorite suggestion but I wonder how many of those making
the suggestion have actually tried to learn a programming language that way.
I have tried on numerous occasions and find it to be a frustratingly short
period of time. I'm just getting warmed up, or I'm struggling with a new
concept and have to stop and get back to 'real' work. For me anyway, I
need longer blocks of time. And then, there are the interruptions by my
coworkers who stop by with work questions because I'm at my desk.

I find it much more advantageous to use any 'spare' time I can find to work
on these types of things. My management is pretty open to this too as long
as business priorities aren't impacted. I realize not everyone's situation
is the same.

Just my $.02.

Rick

You have lunch!

You can cut that out for starters if you want to succeed?

I have lunch and after hours. I think the question is whether I can
get reasonable web experience through osmotic exposure to various
tutorials.
So far, my stuff looks like an 8 year old copied a tutorial he found
on the web.

Google is no substitute for honest experience.
