.NET Journey – What Is It?
As you probably are aware, I enjoy writing PC applications. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard of or used FROG. FROG was created with a programming language called Euphoria and uses the database connectivity APIs from iSeries Access. As much as I enjoy programming in Euphoria I realized that in order to keep up with the latest technology available from IBM for connecting to the iSeries, I was going to have to learn .NET. (I know, Java is another choice but I’m going down the .NET road). Also, IBM will probably discontinue the database APIs in the future.
So, the “.NET Journey” is going to be a blog of my own experiences with .Net and the IBM iSeries geared toward helping others learn the same. I’ve already developed some applications with .NET but I am by no means an expert. Some of the journey will be my own learning experiences so if you’re interested, you can learn along with me.
The next installment of the journey will outline where to get the development tools and the requirements for your iSeries.
