This book has been a great help in switching our new development to free format. It is filled with coding examples that clearly illustrate the free format syntax. It also provides insight into good coding techniques. All in all, a great book for the modern RPG programmer.

This book is one of those examples of "all good things come in small packages". It is a very pleasant read and excellent for reference. Besides the free format syntax, the book also explains other things such as the use and syntax of Built In Functions and some aspects of ILE. Highly recommend this book to anybody thinking of using RPG Free.

This book is good for the developer that just needs to know the new syntax for the opcodes and new %BIF's. The examples are clear, but not every situation. I think overall it was good. It took me from standard RPG IV to free format and it was pretty painless.

A very clear and concise book. Author knows his topic well and explains everything is very clear language. Strongly recommend for any programmer working with this new and exciting version of RPG.

This is a very easy book to learn RPG from. It is explained in easy to understand terms and language. If you know RPG IV and are trying to learn free format this is the book to buy. I have met the author and sit in two of the classes he thought and he is easy to learn from and makes learning fun.

Good overview of RPG IV Free-Format, topics covered included BIF (built in functions), Math Operations, and Call/Return Plenty of examples showing Free-Format coding techinques.

If your learning RPG Free-Format or trying to transition from RPGIV, this book is a great guide. It provides easy reading and simple examples. You will refer to this book over and over again.
