Re: IBM i 7.6 Development tools

It is easier to program directly for the web rather than doing the APIs
A tool like CGIDEV2 isolates the web part from the RPG logic, so the web
developer can so his job in a team with the RPG developer.
The web developer does not need to learn IBM i, but the RPG neds to learn a
little web.
The result will be outstanding.

Sounds like a use case for the i developers to write APIs to be called by
the web developers with no IBM i experience.

Then the IBM i just becomes one more database in the enterprise that
delivers up its data via APIs.

Serendipity!

I don't believe they have tried that. In my current role, I'm not
programming the applications (another team). Most of the new web
content is being added by a web development team that has no
experiencing on the i. While the base app is still maintained by the i
developers.
