C# is not on the i - PHP requires installing some stuff - Java & C++ are about the only languages on a recent list that are "native".

Why push back against using RPG? (I know, you didn't specifically do that, you suggested using something else.) Lots of developers already know this language, and it's the standard language on the box.

Give them nice tools or frameworks like CGIDEV2 or Renaissance and let them at it - HTML is only text, after all, so anything can be done that can be done with any other platform.

Booth,

Why limit yourself to RPG? There are multiple, well supported, free
options. Just see the periodic 'best language' conversations on this list.

First, this is a very simplistic request. I admit to being flummoxed as
to how to get started.

Then some background: I want to stay within the confines of what IBM
provides with the base midrange package. I know there a lot of various
third party tools, but I want to stay with the solutions provided by
IBM. My reasoning is simple: I want a solution that any RPG programmer
can build, on his machine, without having to talk his bosses into
spending more money for extras.

Where I am at: I have built a web site on the Apache server where I can
serve up static reports generated in RPG and then published as HTML in
the IFS. Here is a screen shot.

What I believe is the next baby step: I would like to add a flavor to
the physical file from a web page. Perhaps edit/delete, too, if that is
a small step. But I do not understand the process very well. In the
end I want to have the ability to add an image for the flavor, too.

Any comments are welcome. I am hoping I can make the Ice Cream Project
as a beginners guide for RPG programmers. "Keep it Simple" is the key
phrase.

Thank you.
