Larry,

Can you share any examples and help me get started if I choose to go this way?

Thanks,

Dave

True, there is no support, and unfortuanley, it probably has no future. However, another major advantage (for me) is that I know it very well, have been using it for years to do some pretty decent stuff (including on-line catalogs, shopping carts, and more), and - other than the fact that IBM will drop it one of these days - have no compelling reason to learn something new and deal with yet another learning curve that simply allows me to do what I can already do.

Please respond to Web Enabling the AS400 / iSeries Hi Larry: > "Why would someone want to use Net.Data?" > How about: it works, it's free, and it's easy to learn. Okay, but lots of things are free and easy to learn (and hopefully they work!!). Here's a list: Net.Data, PHP, jRuby, Perl, Python, J2EE, CGIDEV2, LUA. And that's not exhaustive by any means. That's what I'm asking you, Larry. With all of these options, why would you pick Net.Data? Net.Data has no future, and is relatively obscure with very little support in the industry. If you were to start a new project (as Dave is doing, that's why he started this thread) why would you pick Net.Data? -- This is the Web Enabling the AS400 / iSeries (WEB400) mailing list To post a message email: WEB400@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/web400 or email: WEB400-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/web400.
