5.0 out of 5 stars An essential text-book for learning the AS400, August 19, 1999

By	Michael Baker (txbakers@flash.net) (Garland, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: AS/400: System, Utilities, Database, and Programming (2nd Edition) (IBM Press) (Paperback)

This comprehensive volume covers the AS400 from soup to nuts. The beginning chapters clearly outline the basics and history of the AS400. Subsequent chapters gently guide the learner through the many features of the computer.

Each of the features of the AS400 are clearly detailed and walked through by Lin and Stewart. Tutorials and lab assignments are included at the end of most chapters, giving you the opportunity to try your newly learned material.

I was also impressed by the omission of any "fluff" so common in computer how-to books these days. There are no illustrations, anecdotes, or cute graphics. Screen shots a plenty, and a comprehensive index make this a very valuable source. Although there are several typos scattered through the text, it is still a first rate learning tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book without the hipe, October 15, 1999

By	B. Hurley "Jamie" (Monroe, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: AS/400: System, Utilities, Database, and Programming (2nd Edition) (IBM Press) (Paperback)

I have read a few AS/400 books that have been more cryptic than the system itself. This books goes into perfect detail when necessary and points out various illustrations using simple screen shots. It also covers today's vital internet integration along with Java applets.

A recommended book for begining AS/400 users, and an excellent refresher/reference for more advanced users.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful for a new comer working on AS/400, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: AS/400: System, Utilities, Database, and Programming (2nd Edition) (IBM Press) (Paperback)

A very useful book giving an overview of AS/400 system and commonly used utilities/programming tools.

The concepts are explained in simple terms. There are many examples, lab excercises etc to make the reader comfortable with the system.

An essential book for any person who is just getting in to As/400 system.
