This page provides summary comparisons between the IBM i "native" virtual machine environment (command line, integrated database, integrated language environment, work management, and so forth) versus other runtime environments (Java & Microsoft .Net) versus scripting environments (PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby). Each type of environment has advantages and disadvantages over the other; this page will delineate them.

| Converts your screens into two standard UI types: green screen and gray screen. The green screen acts as a replacement for the standard 5250 display, and requires no HTML skills on your part and no retraining for your programmers or your end users. A simple conversion and you're on the web. If you then choose to deploy a more "web-like" appearance, your HTML developers can customize the generated gray screen in whatever way they see fit.

Purpose

This page provides summary comparisons between the IBM i "native" virtual machine environment (command line, integrated database, integrated language environment, work management, and so forth) versus other runtime environments (Java & Microsoft .Net) versus scripting environments (PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby). Each type of environment has advantages and disadvantages over the other; this page will delineate them.
