I was at the conference for the release. We were looking into CGI
processing, Whether CGIDEV2, EXT js and Valence or whatever else, It's all
CGI. My boss had seen a product from another vendor, MRC. We have not
really done any web based programming in the iSeries group, I have a few
CGI program about to go into production, but that is all. One programmer
looked at webfacing, and after creating a few programs to be run that way,
not just converting existing stuff he found out everything we've heard
since. Doesn't scale well, slow response time etc. I went the CGI route
and built a few usable screens, They could look better. That's not the
technologies fault, I'm a programmer not web designer. My boss really
liked the demo she got from MRC, We have in house training on their
M-Power product next week where I will better be able to see how it works.
The only problem I really have so far is, I think it generates Java code,
and none of here know Java. So anything we might want to do outside the
generated code, will be a big learning curve.

Re: [WEB400] The "Presentation" Layer
The company decided to go a different direction in web programming from
the
iSeries.
What? Could you explain? They just released their product on May 1st I
believe.
