Advanced Pick : Open Database and Operating System by Roger J. Bourdon is an excellent resource for Pick programmers of all experience levels. Rather than being a command reference, it is a learning tool. Speaking in plain language, Mr. Bourden explains some of the more difficult commands of Pick in a clear concise manner. Advanced Pick also contains an interesting history and background of Pick, as both operating system and programming language. There is also a brief review of System Builder applications for use with Pick. With this book not being a reference manual, it does have the shortcoming of not being able to find things quickly. Looking in the index is helpful, but it is not all inclusive and you may have to reference two or more pages before you find the right information. Although the material is explained well, some of the more difficult subjects are not fully explained for novices. Many areas are good for beginners, but to get the maximum benefit, some experience may be required.
