Well, ya' gotta' do what you love to do. So I've just
finished a revision of my five day course "You and
z/OS and the World Wide Web". The update includes
testing labs with more, and later version, browsers
(Firefox 3.0.11, Opera 9.63, Safari 4.0, Chrome 2.0,
Internet Explorer 8.0 and Amaya 11.2) as well as a
brief look at what's developing along the HTML 5 and
XHTML 5 lines. [Lo and behold, Tuesday's Wall Street
Journal has an article that includes pointing out
how Google and Microsoft are both pushing for HTML 5
to become a standard quicker than was planned!]
Although this course has been developed and tested
with z/OS in mind, it is a standards based course and
the bulk of the content applies to any Web environment.
The content examines:
HTML - all the most useful elements including
* links, anchors, and targets
* lists
* event handlers
* client side maps
* embedded objects (PDFs, movies, audio, Java classes...)
* Forms and form controls
* Cookies
* Tables
* Framesets
XHTML - with differences from HTML
CSS - inline style, internal style sheets, and external style sheets
ECMAScript - better known as JavaScript
DOM - the Document Object Model
None of the above are dependent on z/OS levels, and all of the
above apply to any web page coding you might want to do.
So create and serve web content on the Internet or your
Intranet from your z/OS system (it _is_ a server, is it
not? IBM keeps telling us it is, and I can vouch for that).

Next I'm looking at AJAX and the new Widgets standards.
Again, developed on and for z/OS but with a wider
applicability.
Step right up, don't be shy!
