Learn from the expert who helped develop the AS/400 and S/38 and who wrote QUSRTOOL’s TAA tools. Write better CL programs and speed up productivity. You’ll learn more than 200 field-tested techniques to help you implement common CL programming tasks, with exercises at the end of most chapters to solidify your skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One Star?,
This review is from: Jim Sloan's CL Tips & Techniques (Paperback)
Don't know why the one star reviewer was so disappointed. Maybe he/she was mad at IBM for dropping the tool set and took it out on the author. The routines in this book are simple, practical and saved me hours of creation.
If you do any CL programming and want to save yourself time and effort, BUY this book. (Especially at the used prices) FIVE Big BOLD stars. Thank you Jim Sloan.

This review is from: Jim Sloan's CL Tips & Techniques (Paperback)
Sloan's book is little more than an advertisement for the TA-Tools he developed. The tools used to be packaged with OS/400, but not for many releases now. If you want to learn CL, this book is pretty much useless.

Jim Sloan's CL Tips & Techniques,
By Daniel J. Allen (Glen Spey, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jim Sloan's CL Tips & Techniques (Paperback)
Simply put this is the definitive CL book. Jim Sloan is the most recognized CL expert in the industry and the creator of TAATOOLS. From beginner to 'expert' this book has something for everyone, and I guarantee you'll learn something (probably a whole lot)!
