Not Alone Anymore

A Big Thanks To all,

The responses I got back were awesome. I truly feel welcomed to the group.

I have carefully considered all of your recommendations and thoughts concerning my work ahead.

I am at this moment on track to use PHP with RPG handling the data.

I am not a fan of the websmart IDE I am using... there is no code completion... not that I am lazy, I just like having it here to remind me the order of and required parameters in a function.

I have been using BlueFish for about 9 years now. I prefer 2 space rather than true tabs... things like that...

I am trying to get my company to spring for ZendCon. Otherwise I will use my own dime. I think if I have any hope of getting a QUICK grasp of my future, ZendCon is a requirement.

So now I have to learn how to use RPG to get the data sets (results) I need rather than an mysqli query call from PHP.

I am still getting a handle on how WebSmart's PML replaces embedded variables in HTML and JS segments.

I have already broken code... half of a form is gone... some 25 inputs... but I fill find my mistake and correct it... the code I am working in is not commented, and I am supposed to completely own it by the end of October or no later than Jan 1st. Just a little pressure here... Not only is the code not commented... neither is the Database. Vague table descriptions and field descriptions. I used Navigator to scrape the tables into a Spreadsheet. So that I could search for field names and find the table they are in... everyone at the company where the code was originally developed were very happy to get a copy.

Thank you again for the great welcome... I look forward to learning how to maximize the IBM i on Power to rebuild this entire project.

i Power,
Rob
