"I am Doug Pence. I am currently a technical editor for Midrange Computing magazine. I am also the founder and vice president of Computer Processing Unlimited, Inc. in San Diego, California. My association with the magazine began in 1983, when the magazine was a small technical newsletter named DataNetwork. My career in software dates back to the late 1970's. I have designed dozens of systems and have had the privilege of working on every IBM midrange system from the System/3 to the AS/400. I have worked together with Ron Hawkins off and on since 1979, and we currently share the research and development duties at Computer Processing Unlimited, Inc. We have also written two books and a video for Midrange Computing. The names of the books are Power RPG III and Power RPG IV and they focus on advanced concepts, tips, and techniques. We also put a video together called Converting your AS/400 Applications for the Year 2000."

5.0 out of 5 stars I literally owe my career to this book!, August 9, 1999
By 
I literally owe my career to this book. If there were only one AS/400 sys admin book you could own, this would be the one! Two years ago I was thrown into the fires of AS/400 System administration. This book was the water I needed to put out those fires and become a proactive system administrator. It sits on the corner of my desk and I still reference it all the time. The "Primer" explains the situation in simple enough terms that a beginner will become excited about setting up and working with the AS/400. Then it will take you to the next level so that you can become a proactive administrator rather than a reactive one. I have recommend the "Primer" to friends that are seasoned administrators and they reference it all the time too. I just can't say enough about this book.
