Re: Is this really new ?

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found that pretty interesting and was surprised that nobody on
the mailing groups didn't mention this prior to the announcement
letter coming out.

I have seen others mention PHP but it wasn't/isn't clear to me
exactly what it might do for me.

A good many of the web developers seem to forget that the rest
of the programming world has ZERO knowledge of this new
"blended" technology that mixes Unix/Windows + RPG.

I have been writing code for many moons on many versions of
RPG and all it's new extensions. I doubt anything I have learned
would prepare me for the "web experience".

Maybe IBM has finally decided which way they are going with
this stuff.
