Re: What is a Modern RPG Programmer???

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reading the original request in the context of an iSeries shop 
advertising for a programmer, I see a couple of points.

First, a counter question might be to ask the version of their 
system(s).  The answer to that question might go a long ways in the 
discussion.  Plus, it shows that the applicant is at least aware that 
the version level makes a lot of difference in what can be done.

Second, there would be nothing wrong in explaining you aren't sure what 
they mean by "modern programming", and respond using many of the 
comments here.
