webfacing

Hello and welcome to our new blog, WebFacing World!

We're part of the HATS development team working on the IBM WebFacing Tool, and are planning to use this blog to share how-to's, tips, hints, code samples, best practices, and the latest exciting news about WebFacing. And guess what? Since everyone is only responsible for 50 percent of every relationship, we promise to be 100 percent responsible of our 50 percent, and we encourage you to take charge of yours . That is, please tell us what you'd like to hear from us, whether it's how-to's about neat customization, more examples, tips for managing large projects, diagnosing problems, or anything else you're interested in.

For those of you not familiar with the IBM WebFacing Tool (part of the HATS Toolkit), it's used to convert existing 5250 interfaces where source is available to browser-based graphical user interfaces, letting you run your programs on the Web with few or no changes to your original IBM i applications.

Again, welcome! We are excited to have the opportunity to connect with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
