Has anyone considered PHP with the i5 toolkit. It is a very powerful
when used with style sheets. The toolkit allows you to use RPG (program
calls), native database and MySql, data queues, data areas. The learning
curve is MUCH smaller for a RPG programmer than java. Also, the
resources used by it i5 is much less than WAS. The internet is plastered
with coding examples too.

I think recommendations have to be made based on the needs and existing
infrastructure of a company. With that said and being this is a list
where I am guessing everyone has an System i5 in house, Brad's
recommendation for
RPG CGI is quite valid. Going the RPG CGI route (for an RPG shop)
allows
them to cash in on existing knowledge and hardware investments (talking
many hundreds of thousands of dollars even for a shop with only 5
developers).

What advantages does ASP.NET 2.0 have over RPG CGI for a shop with a
wealth of RPG knowledge? I think when people make recommendations of
ASP.NET they don't realize how much change needs to take place to
facilitate enterprise level computing (read solid business apps).

Brad

Glad to know you are still alive, enjoyed your first book!

Don't necessarily agree with the RPG bit though? Would recommend ASP.NET
2.0
