[netrexx-course] Re: Netrexx dead ?

[dIon Gillard/Multitask Consulting/AU]

Netrexx itself or the course??

I had a good chat with Max M about this while I was in Italy recently, and
NetRexx itself definitely isn't dead, but there isn't much
marketing/discussion happening.

Also, my web server has been completely revamped recently, and some of my
pages are not 100% either.

What is everyone up to?? The reason there hasn't been another NetRexx
course is lack of feedback from the first lesson. It is really
disheartening to work on something like a course and have very little
directional feed back. I've been sitting on the second lesson for a few
months now....is anyone interested?

What other things are people interested in?
     * News
     * Views
     * Products
     * FAQ
     * Sample Code
     * Intro material
     * Setting up a working group?

I personally have lots of things I'd like to see happen (for example, VNR
has been worked on since last release, but again, lacks feedback from
users, doclets for 1.2 to replace the API docs I've got on the web, JSP for
NetRexx etc, etc)

Much of your dissappointment is sure our fault, we apologize. Just
speaking for me - I have a (privat) project going on, its a program that
calculates 2D-beams - something for civil engineers. I have plans to
make the whole thing public, probably GNU. Everything is written in
Netrexx and in 9 out of 10 causes it isn't Netrexx that is the problem.
Besides that I'm constantly giving feedback to Mike (even found a bug -
didn't get a t-shirt though).

Why I didn't participate actively yet is because of the fact that
haven't come so far yet - mainly GUI things. That's where I'm going to
need MUCH help. Just yesterday I looked at the javasoft homepage, the
Swing-things are changing constantly and that's what I'm going to use in
the future.
 
The other thing that I'd like to now is how to add applet-functionality
to my java-applications. Max told me something about 'signed applets',
but I don't now how to do this.

Conclusion: this 2 things I'd like to now
        - how to use Swing
        - file I/O for applets

Well, all of them...

doclets? JSP?

A fine thing would be to have a JAVA to NETREXX - compiler!

And finally: a question that I posted at the hursley newsgroup a few
days ago:

How can I find out the dimension of an 2D-array.

Guess I have this thing (not tested)

***********

class test
properties public
        a = double[3,3]
...

a[0,0] = 1
a[0,1] = 1.6847
...

method list(b = double[,])
loop i = 0 to FirstDimensionofArray
        loop j = 0 to SecondDimensionofArray
                say b[i,j]
        end j
end i

**************

How do I get the first and second dimension of an array?

Can someone explain what is going on with Netrexx, at Hurley and the web sites
at this time?  Please also share whatever you know or guess about ObjRexx.

I "joined" this egroup in March but nothing happened.  Typical.  Then today i
got 6 messages, dated today, and my curiosity is up.

Regards to all

I hope its not dead.  I have been silent simply because I'm so far behind
the rest of the group I didn't want to appear stupid.  I coded in REXX
(mainframe) for years, learning from Cowlishaw's book and
experimentation....and would love to grow with NetRexx.  Due to system
problems here (basically a dead computer) I've been trying to relocate pages
etc. so I sure hope this hasn't died off.....

I liked the first lesson, I used the first lesson, I hope for more
lessons.
I appreciate your investment of a very precious thing: Your time.
I apologize for not being more vocal about my appreciation.
(Can you be vocal via email?)

Thank you.

JSP for NetRexx!!!! That's it... I hate this PHP, JScript, ASP-thingies, but
JSP seemed very interesting, though it is pure Java, it allows for reusable
components (an a clear syntax in contrast to PHP...). But thinking in
NetRexx for using it as NRSP, NetRexx Server Pages, would be wonderful. Very
wonderful. Any ideas? Or anyone interested in this thing too? I have a lot
of experience in NR, so I probably could contribute some nice codelets or
concepts; though I always lack of time (My specialities are RMI, FileIO and
GUI's in Swing).
So what? Anyone? Anywhere ??

I never doubted that, but I did wonder about the course

I'm definitely interested, and apologize for not posting before to say so.

I'm a beginner with Java but I've used Rexx before on AS/400 and OS/2.  I would
really like to see a NetRexx for AS/400 and a NetRexx interpreter.

Thanks,

Definitely! I'm personally just in the foothills of a long uphill
climb. Coming from a PC hardware background and moving out onto the WWW
-- and only in my spare time. Right at the present time I'm still
trying to get a good grasp on the artistic side of web page design and
implementation. But I've worked with REXX (and a little OOREXX) and I
can see that I'm going to have a real need for more programmability
than std HTML or SHTML. Your first lesson wasn't really much more than
a good intro to the language's possibilities. So feedback was very low
on my personal priority list. I had no specific questions that hadn't
already been asked. Still, a resounding "Good job. Keep it coming!"
wouldn't have cost me anything. For that lack, I apologise.

Not sure how I could contribute to a workgroup, or how it would be
useful in an entry level course, but if my uneducated help would be of
any use, count me in.

??? Even after a later description I guess I still don't understand
what JSP is or can do for me.

Hi!

Can anyone give me a copy of lession 1 of the NetRexx course.  I tried following
the instructions at the web site but 1) the course never showed up and 2) it
took over 30 days to put me in this group.

Thanks

I propose that dion Gillard posts the first lesson once again. There are
a lot of new people here who haven't got it.
