Weaving WebSphere: Is WDSC Worth It or Not?
** This thread discusses the article: Weaving WebSphere: Is WDSC Worth It or Not? **
You stated: The average reader of the pubs you mention have pc's but not a 400 or the knowledge of how to get on one, much less get a legit install of WDSc. That has been my major beef with IBM for years: the only way to get a legal copy of WDSC is to own an As400(iWhatever). IBM should find a way to get a free copy to POTENTIAL developers (like Microsoft is doing with VS2005 Express), and find a way to simulate an AS400 environment locally. My 2 cents worth on gaining penetration to developer desktops.
