Re: Is there a good Tutorial that is current on Websphere?

As has been amply demonstrated already, you'll find a lot of anti-WAS bigotry. I don't understand it, personally. WebSphere enables far more workloads to run on the IBM i and increases the viability of the platform, just like PHP (which I'm happy to see). It'd be nice if they ported Mono as well (although I understand IBM's probable reluctance to test whether Microsoft will stick by its pledge not to enforce patents against Mono).

As far as WebSphere goes, it's very simple to set up and start using (just make sure you're current on PTFs). WebSphere has enough moving parts to become complex if you try to use all of its features. If you stick to the basics, it works as well as anything else. The main drawback is that the tools that work best for development are chargeable offerings (RAD SE, RAD, or MyEclipse BLUE).

This response intrigues me. One of the reasons I want to learn more
about Websphere is that I admit to being an IBM bigot. If I don't
understand the platform's capabilities how can I expect others to
advocate for the platform?

Are you talking about WAS? I am not sure why you would want all that complexity when there are much simpler ways. Have you looked at CGIDEV2 or Icebreak for example?

Is there a good Tutorial that is current on Websphere?

In looking, I am finding pretty stale information, and it occurs to me
that probably those tutorials are no longer relevant or useful.

I am wanting to build an application that resides on the i, serves
dynamic web pages, and allows me to display the fields in a simple keyed
physical file, and an image (also stored on the i)

I would like to develop the application with Rational Developer for the i.

It occurs to me that I am probably making it all too complicated, and
that I might do well to stop, look, and listen.
