Editorial Review:

There are no off-the-shelf solutions and no ready-made tools that will allow you to convert operational data into meaningful, strategic information. You must fundamentally restructure your data, (create a data warehouse), before Query can do the job it was designed to do. This book shows you how. It offers a product-independent, do-it-yourself guide to restructuring databases for successful end-user access. Believing that "successful end-user access projects are build as applications, not afterthoughts," author Brian Kelly starts by first presenting issues and objectives. He goes on to spell out exactly how to design/restructure databases. Don't fall behind by waiting for a "killer" query product that is never going to come. Find out how to deliver the goods to management by building your own data warehouse!

Written for higher level programmers this book provides a variety of RPG templates, subroutines, and copy modules that will aid programmers in writing robust and effective RPG/400 programs. The code provided in this book is intended to "plug and play" with existing RPG. Advice on such varied topics as string handling routines, numeric editing, error-handling, and interactive programming techniques is included.

Great Quick Reference 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

As a recent College Graduate with little real-world experience managing a AS/400, this book has been very valuable. With the exception of printing problems, most of my daily questions have been answered by picking up this book. While it doesn't go into detail about some of the commands/issues raised, it does tell what redbooks to go to for more information.

Editorial Review:

A must-have quick-reference guide for every AS/400 professional that provides answers to questions about AS/400 tasks that you don't always remember to do. It tells you how to set up a new subsystem, add new users, change values in user profiles, order and load PTFs, review the AS/400's performance parameters, and much more. Contains a full glossary of terms and an appendix of system values. Our #1 best seller!

Well Done! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent book for AS/400 system programmers and system administrators. It covers a lot of information that is unavailable or nearly so in standard sources.

My copy is dog-eared.

In a world with few competitors, this book really stands out 3 out of 5 stars.

+AH4-A charming romp through the eclectic and quirky world of the AS/400. I am a college teacher, so I should know what I am talking about.

There is a great deal of really good information, well written and in a pretty understandable format. This will be my favorite until O'Reilly puts out an AS/400 book. Unless there is a new revised edition, this book is growing more obsolete by the day. But it is still the best I have seen.+AH4-

Authors Note 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

As stated in the Introduction (Aims & Audience), the intention of this book is to introduce the role and features of the entire set of IBM tools in creating Enterprise Java solutions. It is clearly stated as being designed to be useful for people with little or no Java programming expertise. It is in no way about Design Patterns, UML, XML or TP Monitors. It will be especially useful for people who need to move from green screen shops to understanding the full range of tools and techniques needed to develop thin client applications for a WebSphere environment. While newer versions of some of the software have been released, the fundamentals remain sound and applicable. I have received many favorable responses from readers via email and I am perplexed by the implication that the entire book could be explained by a single IBM marketing rep. Yes, they're good people, but really now, let's be fair. There are a great many developers, architects and managers who can benefit from a ground up introduction to the full range of tools used to develop e-business applications in Java. That was and remains the main objective and audience for this book. I hope this clarification is useful for anyone contemplating whether or not to read Big Blue Java.

Editorial Review:

A complete IBM(r) programmer's guide to developing sophisticated object-oriented software systems in JavaJava is the leading object-oriented programming language. With 600,000 installations worldwide, the IBM AS/400 is the #1 legacy computing platform. Fortunately, IBM has developed a suite of Java tools that allows IBM programmers to build the Java applications their companies need to remain competitive. This book provides an overview of that tool suite, along with guidelines for using it to program for a multi-platform legacy environment. It covers each IBM/Java tool in detail, as well as related, non-IBM products. And it shows developers how to work effectively in San Francisco, the IBM/Java migration environment.CD-ROM contains sample code from the book, VisualAge for Java forms, servlet templates, Rational Rose models, and IBM support material.
