5.0 out of 5 stars
...just like starting over...again
Instead of calling it "Java for Dummies" they decided to be nice to us old-timers and call it "Java for...Cobol programmers", but that's OK. Prepare yourself for a thick heavy meal that must be digested very slowly. Not a stone left unturned, very, very meticulous. There is a lot of exhaustive material so you will need a lot of time to go through...

1.0 out of 5 stars
more Java less COBOL
the book should focus on Java on AS400. also it uses Visual Age which is outdated should use Websphere instead. the code is not clear since it tries to compare COBOL(structure programing) with Java(Object Oriented

This review is from: Java(tm) for S/390® and AS/400® COBOL Programmers (Paperback)
Instead of calling it "Java for Dummies" they decided to be nice to us old-timers and call it "Java for...Cobol programmers", but that's OK. Prepare yourself for a thick heavy meal that must be digested very slowly. Not a stone left unturned, very, very meticulous. There is a lot of exhaustive material so you will need a lot of time to go through this. Measure it not in weeks but perhaps in a few good months. But it will push you a good way up the path that many of us must take, for those of us who will not accept that there is more behind us than ahead of us. Go for it - and good luck to us all!

This is a great book for programmer from the procedural world trying to lear Java. There is lot of comparison to Cobol code. The examples are detailed and more real world much unlike the examples found in other Java books. Chapter 9 on Object orientation is gem.
