Re: Web Intro Videos (was rpg webservices asynchronous)

He asked about start. Starting apachedft will give a "web page" from the
IBM i. Changing the page is also very easy, and, of course, there is a
lot more to have a full web server.

There's a teeny bit more to it than that Raul - like setting directory mapping, permissions, etc. etc.

I'm pretty sure Paul Tuohy did this first stage eons ago. Also Giovanni has text-based introductory material on the Easy400 site.

Anyway I'll give it some thought but frankly I think that there are probably better uses for my video creation skills right now than to go over what is pretty old ground for most who are likely to ever build a web page from scratch. But that's just me - maybe others will feel differently.

I needed to start at a lower level.

1. apache and html. no cgi. just a splash screen.
2. Come up with a specific example. Nothing hypothetical or that
promises rainbows & glitter. Hello World stuff.
3. It's not of any use if the end product is "Here's a .json file."
So yes, it has to include HTML. Exactly how that is handled becomes
a part of the problem.

Are there some hurdles? Sure. The whole idea that it has to include webmaster stuff seems a bridge too far, but if I can do it, it's doable by any RPG programmer out there.

The decisions about cgi, php, python, java, javascript, .css and on and on is a tough one; lots of good & valid experiences. That discussion is way out there though; maybe that is a Level 3 or Level 4 discussion?

As a for instance, if a person came away from session 1 being able to get the Apache servers started and change the "Apache Default" screen replaced by a screen that says "Jon is the MAN!" ... well... that a pretty good step 1 In my opinion. If the page also had a photo of someone's dog? well, that'd just showing off, right?

I changed the Subject line as we are off on a tangent,

For #1 I assume you mean Apache and HTML, and CGI ? But do you talk to other options? PHP, Python, etc. etc. It used to be simpler before we got into Javascript and web services and ...

Not sure I understand what you mean by #2 at all.

As for #3 - are we talking simply editing html?
