Hello All! OK, the e-commerce thing I think will come in time. I'm not believing that will be too far down the road. This first example is something to look into for anyone wanting to develop a web storefront. TUT160 - Internet and Intranet E-Commerce on NetWare 5 Using ECential Speaker:Chris Staszak, CTO, Evergreen, Michael Wilkinson, Product Manager and Steve Pierson, ISV Recruitment Now that NetWare 5 has hit the streets and is the number one network for Internet-enabled businesses, implementing e-commerce is the next step. This session will explore the market opportunity for e-commerce on NetWare 5 and will cover the technical implementation of ECential, a product being developed by Evergreen Internet, one of Novell's partners and investment companies. Attendees should be familiar with Java, CORBA, Novell Directory Services (NDS)and NetWare. Another is this: DL128 - Developing Web/Internet Applications on Oracle for NetWare Speaker:Kevin de Smidt, Product Manager, Oracle, Corp. In this session, attendees will find out how to use Java, JavaScript, Novell Script, PL/SQL and Perl to develop web applications for the intranet and Internet that leverage Oracle on NetWare. Attendees will be shown sample applications and IDE/code examples using JDeveloper, Visual JavaScript and an HTML editor. The role of web application servers, CORBA, and EJB will also be discussed. These point to the direction of e-commerce. I think we'll see more and more e-commerce tools developed by 3rd parties working with Novell products in the near future. I think reading over the session catalog for BrainShare I realized that Novell isn't working too hard at getting developers to leave what they know and learn something completely new just to develop on NetWare or NDS. What I'm seeing is Novell working hard at making the tools developers aleady use work with Novell products. What does this mean?? It means that any ISV (software vendor) can port their products to NetWare easier. It also means that development costs, training and product cycles can be minimized since companies would be using the same tools to develop for NetWare as they would for Win32. The past has shown us that an OS needs applications to make it a worthwhile investment (on the desktop at least). NDS is making NetWare more and more attractive. Making NDS run on other platforms makes developing for NDS more and more attractive. Making that development easier means more applications. Kind of moves in a circle no? Peter Strifas
