I'm doing some REXX work for a large software company and needed to come up to speed quickly on REXX, and specifically REXX + TSO. I bought three REXX books from Amazon.com (and with education budgets @ zero these days, thank God for Amazon.com) ... Anyway....

Gabe's book is far and away the best source of REXX learning - period. Not just REXX & TSO. The reason? Gabe is a life-long educator, not merely a technician. As an educator Gabe finds the exact combination of words/examples - and of course taxonomy of topics to make REXX learning as easy as possible. I cannot recommend a book more highly.

I have been muddying my way through REXX for many years. I only recently discovered this book and would give anything to have discovered it 20 years ago. Thanks Gabe.

This is the definitive source of information on the topic. It is a better teaching/learning tool than Mike Colishaw's own text, and he is the "guru" who headed up the team that created REXX. If you cannot take a class in REXX, do not hesitate to pay $... for a used copy of this text.
