MT usually has cpu cycles to spare whereas the mainframe has the comparatively pea-sized brain of a hulking dinosaur. So shouldn't the MT being doing the conversion, translation, parsing, caching, validation, compression, encryption, etc. where worthwhile?

Today, I can make almost the same recommendation to Internet developers but for an even better reason. If a mainframe developer can follow and appreciate the discussions of serious network game developers, they'll see how it brings a needed perspective. Which brings us to UDP (User Datagram Protocol), the underappreciated sibling of TCP (Transmission Control Program).

Applications, applets and servlets for any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can be done in NetRexx with less coding and in less time. Java classes and beans are easily accessible. Mainframers already familiar with decades-old Rexx can leverage that expertise on upcoming web development. And it's FREE!
