Re: The web, where to start?

Many will recommend looking at CGIDEV2 - it is a service program that 
lets you build web pages from RPG very nicely - available as a free 
zip file at

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/services/labservices/library.html

It uses web pages external to the RPG program that are specially 
marked up - Paul Tuohy had a series of articles on it - found this 
first of 3 at

http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid3_gci1065711,00.html

Might have to get a free subscription


Also, do a google search on "cgidev2 examples"


Then you could go to

http://www.renaissanceframework.com/

which is a framework using CGIDEV2 for developing websites that run 
in RPG on the iSeries - pretty impressive stuff.
