Niels,

I assume that all of your new development is with either jQuery or ExtJS - correct? Is there any place now for

SetMarker
ResponseWriteTag

What I'm thinking about here is the beginner. Should I abandon the SetMarket and ResponseWriteTag?

It appears to me that if you are an RPG programmer, the only other language you need is JavaScript (jQuery or ExtJS). Why would an RPG programmer want to bother with PHP?

Enlighten me!!

Regards,

Jim Cooper

Hi Jim;

When it comes to web-development; You only need to know one language into details today - and that is JavaScript. Other languages are in my opinion secondary – including RPG. That, however, leaves RPG on the same level as PHP C# and Java.

Don't abandon "responseWriteTag" and "setMarker" functionality. These features make it easy to implement RESTfull services, national language support.

Best regards,
