The "pre" meeting (starting 5:00 P.M. - registration at 4:45)
HTML, XHTML, XML, W3C, CSS, ETC. -- Decoding the alphabet soup

Heard that HTML is difficult? Don't think you can master it?  Think it's something you can ignore?  Think again!  We'll look at what HTML is and how to produce it.  We'll assume you know nothing and take you from an empty notepad document to a web page complete with images, tables and formatted text.  After all, you learned RPG, DDS, CL, SEU, SDA and PDM, so how hard can HTML be?

What won't be covered here is how to dynamically generate HTML at runtime -- from a database for example.  This presentation covers what to generate, the next one covers how to generate it.

The "regular" meeting (after-dinner topic)
Using ASP.NET to web-enable iSeries applications

Static HTML not cutting it?  Want to be able to extend all that good business data in your iSeries to a browser?  This is for you! Building on your knowledge of static HTML, we'll look at how you can generate it at runtime from ASP.NET and C# (C-Sharp).  We'll look at both simple read-only presentation and more advanced interaction for create/change/delete using forms.

If we can get a reliable connection to the internet we'll actually pull data live off an iSeries, if not, we'll pull it from a local SQLServer -- but in either case the process you'll go through is almost identical, and I'll point out the differences along the way.
