This training manual starts you off by explaining how to download, install and configure the CGIDEV2 toolkit on your AS/400. It then takes you through each of the subprocedures included in the toolkit. 
Each section clearly explains how and when to use each subprocedure as well as any input and output parameters that are required. Understanding what you are doing is just as important as actually doing it. And these chapters will really open your eyes to the fantastic power and functionality of the CGIDEV2 toolkit 
The chapters that follow show you how to use each of the subprocedures in a real programming environment. Even if you're a beginner, the first example will get you started quickly and easily with the "Hello World" application. The training manual goes on to explain and give examples of outputting dynamic content using CGIDEV2's trademark, the HTML template. 
Media: Self-paced manual with source code CD. Estimated completion time: 16 hours.

RPG Web Skills Accelerator

With the help of e-RPG: Building AS/400 Web Applications with RPG--a revolutionary new book from Midrange Computing--you can develop fully functional e-business solutions using nothing more than your existing knowledge of RPG and the Web facilities already included in OS/400. There's no need to learn Java, Visual Basic, Perl, or even Visual RPG! Step-by-step, author Bradley V. Stone shows you how to: Build Web applications using RPG, create Web pages in HTML, enhance the interactivity of your web pages with JavaScript (not to be confused with the Java programming language), set up your AS/400 as an HTTP server, use RPG to write Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs, write an RPG program to output dynamic HTML to a browser, create Web-based reports from AS/400 data, read input entered on a web page into your RPG program, use ILE to enhance the functionality and maintainability of your web programs, debug an e-RPG program, use dynamic OPNQRYF sorts and selections for your web page, build a full-function e-commerce application in RPG, and more! e-RPG: Building AS/400 Web Applications with RPG comes with a CD-ROM that contains full source code for examples given in the book, including binder language source for service programs; /COPY prototype source; DDS for physical files, logical files, and external data structures; HTML source; HTML images; module source; and complete RPG source for all e-RPG programs.
