4.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended for RPG programmers., May 13, 2000
This review is from: Java Application Strategies for the AS/400 (Paperback)
It's excellent book for RPG programmers looking for introduction to Java. This book gives solid base in Java with explanations on OO concepts and working practical examples. The only weakness of this book is poor information about how Java works/runs in the AS/400 environment.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great introduction to DB2/400 access methods, October 3, 2000
This review is from: Java Application Strategies for the AS/400 (Paperback)
As in his seminars, Don Denoncourt attempts to reach two objectives in a very limited time. The first is to teach object-oriented concepts to RPG programmers. He does a pretty good job of this. The second objective, not covered by any other book I am aware of, is to introduce us to the invaluable tools of record-level access and JDBC, as well as PCML and a few other means of interacting with the 400. These sections of the book make it an essential tool for any programmer transitioning AS/400 databases to Java access. I only wish he had included more information on connection strategies such as applets and EJB.
