Re: 5250 programmer to web programmer

*Hi Rick,*
*I think the same, a new language can't be learned in a few days or in spare
time.*
*or at least you can't be proficiency in.*
*
*
*is for this I really think that the best approach for us the as400 guys is
using the same we knows in the server arena: RPG IV (free with free embebed
sql) with some help of CL and DB2 knowledge and using the real compatible
stuff in the browser arena: html + css + js (or even better some js library
as jquery).*
*Understand of the basic concepts of ajax is a must, also.*
*
*
*We don't need to compete creating the new one facebook or google docs
applications, we "only" need to create an "not so modern" browser GUI for
business applications.*
*Later, in phase II we will improve the usability or even other finest
touch.*
*
*
*Best Wishes.*
*Guillermo.*
