Re: Trying to learn about REST and IBM i services

My situation was to get a program working as a host ASAP, then build the
client.  IWS did much of the work for me on the host side.  Building the
Client I used Scott K's tooling for JSON and read his user group session
with the "roll your own" section it became very clear how to do  the host
part in pure RPG/Apache. I even have a pure COBOL shop using IWS to do the
hosting side and they are happy with the results mainly due to the
conversion of the JSON packages..  As for Agile, now that I'm down the RPG
path, not looking back.
