Re: ** Websphere and Java Web Development Training **

Hello Joe,

Basically we need some good mentoring resources to help us through some of 
the pitfalls and we also want to have a good sound strategy in place. 

We need to put together a roadmap quickly because we have some development 
opportunities that will take advantage of the Java web programming 
technology. 

With java servlet/web programming it appears there are several coding 
approaches and we want a design pattern that works well for web app 
development with Java. 

The WebSphere Studio and Eclipse tools are nice, but a little daunting, 
even for someone very familiar with both AS/400 and Microsoft programming 
tools :-)

Our skills are very strong AS/400-iSeries, very string Microsoft VB/ASP 
and VB.Net/ASP.Net, so I don't think the Java web stuff is too much of a 
learning leap. We just don't want to waste time unnecessarily if we can 
find ourselves an Obi-Wan-Kenobe of Java.  "Don't Use the hammer Luke."

If you can provide a draft of what's covered in your book that would be a 
good starting point. I'm sure we'll purchase it :-)

Also, I am open to other creative ideas if you want to contact me directly 
offline.

What exactly are you looking for, Richard?  My book on WDSC is due out
in just a few weeks and it covers a wide range of topics.  Are you
looking for training, mentoring, or what?
