QUESTION POSED ON: 24 July 2002
My first 10 years was on mainframes using COBOL. For the last 10 years I have been on AS/400 with COBOL & RPG. I see where things are headed (being able to take product orders from a company's Web site) and having those orders processed on the iSeries.

I don't believe just knowing COBOL & RPG are going to be enough the way the iSeries is heading. What computer language courses should I look at taking so I can get up to speed to use WebSphere? Do I need to know Unix, Java or VRPG?

No... don't waste time. Get the new version of WDSC (WebSphere Development Studio Client) installed on your PC from your iSeries server (it has to be V5R1 or later with 5722-WDS installed).

Read the online help, run the samples and read our article in Experts Journal.

This will get you productive and billable in the new world quicker than any other option.
