Editorial Reviews
Java Application Strategies for iSeries and AS/400--Second Edition provides a much-needed look at the realities of using Java to develop real-world OS/400 applications. Don Denoncourt draws on his years of experience as a business application programmer and on his acknowledged expertise in Java to lead RPG programming professionals through the potential pitfalls of object-oriented programming (OOP), teaching them effective strategies for Java application design and programming. Covering the gamut of Java application strategies, this book includes introductory information on Java and object-oriented programming, methods for integrating object-oriented techniques into your application design, a description of the utilities and tools available on iSeries and AS/400, methods to access DB2/400 with Java, ways to integrate Java with your legacy applications, and a tutorial on how to develop a Java GUI. New to this edition are sections on server-side Java and the Web--an up-to-date look at servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), and programming server-side applications on the Web.
About the Author
I'm Don Denoncourt, and I'm a Java evangelist. I spent 10 years in the world of business applications design using RPG and COBOL. One day I began to wonder if there was more to programming than structured applications. I bid farewell to friends and family and moved fifteen hundred miles to be a systems programmer at ASNA. There I began a journey of enlightenment as the masters of ASNA taught me the tenets of object-oriented programming with C++. I learned that, although structured techniques had served AS/400 programmers well, there was a better way. After five years, I was ready to come down off the mountaintop and preach the gospel of object-oriented programming. But C++ was a language for computer scientists; not business applications programmers. I needed a language that was not as complex and error-prone as C++ and yet was purely object-oriented. The company called Sun delivered that language to me in the form of Java.
The way is object-oriented programming; the language of the way is Java.
Midrange Computing has seen fit to give me access to a powerful media to spread my Java evangelism -- as a senior technical editor for Midrange Computing. It is my job to help MC readers prepare themselves for a future that involves the bandwidth of the Internet and the language and platform of Java. I thoroughly enjoy it.
