I saw some Co workers trialling RDi and it looked pretty good (didn't seem to like green screen coloring tho)
But I couldn't get a trial on my pc because it had been loaded on a few months ago an I didn't know.
Anyway .. I was disappointed to find find out the licensing isn't cheap, and I can't get a trial.
I also thought that IBM should give a cut down version away to encourage younger coders to adopt iseries and rpgle, particularly free form.
Visual studio express or community edition is very good - so considering RDi is built over Eclipse, just let us play with a basic version so we can justify it to the guys holding the purse strings ...
Are there any other similar environments available or very cheap licensing available so I can finance this myself?
Or how can I get an extension to a trial the i didn't use?
Did I rant a little there .. sorry
