RE: Moving from Green screen app to GUI because of push back

That's what I do. CGIDEV2 with YAJL server-side, and jQuery client-side.


The new Db2 TR has options to generate JSON, but IMO it's too convoluted so I'm sticking with YAJL for now.

We are on the web list discussing these options. The idea came up to use YAJL or something else to spit out JSON and process it on the client side with jQuery or something of the like. That way you can easily split up development between business and presentation logic.

No "cost" except for the learning curve.

And for the record, you (Jon) said you used some software that was a couple hundred bucks a year. My eRPG SDK toolkit is $280 a year, and you can evaluate for free as long as you need (as with any of my software.). It seems like maybe people think I charge like old school ISVs.. never have, never will. Basically peanuts.

Even free software has a cost. Open source included. Support isn't always free. Support is part of what you get included with any of my software.
Less for one year than most pay for cable or cell phone in a month. lol...
