Does NOT teach Java, and goes through VisualAge too rapidly. 2 out of 5 stars.
20 of 22 people found this review helpful.

This book is definitely NOT for the RPG programmer wishing to learn about Java. I have marked this book down heavily for its misleading title: implying that it explains Java as well as Visual Age for Java (VAJ). The book assumes not just a basic, but a *thorough* knowledge of the Java language, on which it builds its VAJ examples.

The VAJ examples leave something to be desired, since they are presented as completed, with the text and diagrams then referring to specific parts of an example and showing the Java code generated (meaningless to me).

The book works through a series of advanced topics extremely rapidly. I realised how rapidly, when reading topics with which I am familiar (e.g. IFS). For a reader with existing knowledge, I think the book would work well - but for a "new to Java" reader, it's too brief.

What the book does not do, is take someone completely new to the VAJ environment, step by step through building the examples.

In conclusion, the book is a very good reference for the moderately experienced Java and VAJ developer, who wants to check on how to do something in the AS/400 environment. But it is of little use to someone such as myself, an experience RPGIV developer with no Java or VAJ experience.

I am now left with the dilema of using Amazon's no quibble returns guarantee; or buying yet another book on AS/400 Java, and some basic VAJ training, before trying this book again.

Editorial Review:

This is a practical introduction to software development in Java on the AS/400. The first section takes the reader through a simple Java example in order to demonstrate an overview of the AS/400's Java functionality. The second section gives implementation specifics. The final section guides the reader through several complex application examples, which reveal how developers can exploit Java's full potential on the AS/400.

Editorial Review:

This book gives you real-world strategies for the development of AS/400 Java applications. Written specifically for AS/400 RPG programmers, the focus is on business-programming issues for Java application design and programming. Unlike the myriad other books available on Java, this title presumes readers have no C or C++ knowledge or experience. This book describes the structure and the intent of the Java programming language and why Java applications developed with structure techniques used in RPG applications will fail. Also detailed are the benefits and caveats of each of the three Java application architectures: applets, applications, and servlets. You will find out how to recognize the three phases of OOP: encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. And you can learn how to apply standard OO strategies for the development of AS/400 Java applications, create hierarchies of Java classes using OO inheritance in the development of business-object models, and en! capsulate business entities that are stored in DB2/400 into Java classes using object-to-relational strategies. You also will be able to create Java GUIs using the Abstract Window Toolkit components of Java 1.1, create robust GUIs using the industrial-strength components of Java 1.2's Java Foundation Classes, and understand the Java GUI replacement strategy for the highly successful AS/400 subfile paradigm. In addition, you can find out how to access DB2/400 data using record-level access, make Java applications interoperate with RPG and COBOL programs, and access DB2/400 data using Java Database Connect (JDBC) and the Java SQL interface. In addition, youll learn how to properly handle Java errors and create application-specific Java error classes and use the Java language's superior strategy for documenting code. Finally, youll discover how to dynamically create hypertext documentation from that code. Included is a companion CD-ROM that contains all the source code presente! d in the book, the complete source for Midrange Computing's Object to Relational framework classes, a .jar file that contains the package of Java classes for Midrange Computing's Object to Relational framework classes, a Sun Java Development Kit, and an Inprise JBuilder 2.0, Trial Version. 400 pages. (Level: Intermediate to Advanced).

Java(tm) for S/390® and AS/400® COBOL Programmers

Editorial Review:

Written by mainframe and midrange professionals George Farr and Phil Coulthard, Java for S/390 & AS/400 COBOL Programmers is designed to help COBOL programmers make the jump to Java. It teaches COBOL programmers how to read and write Java programs and helps them understand the concepts necessary to continue to improve their Java skills. Rather than serve merely as an overview, Java for S/390 & AS/400 COBOL Programmers is a massive work of more than 900 pages that addresses Javas syntax and much of the Java Development Kits (JDKs) functionality through comparisons with COBOL. It also introduces applets, Java Native Interface (JNI), Remote Method Invocation (RMI), serialization, JavaBeans, Enterprise JavaBeans, servlets, JavaServer Pages, and even Extensible Markup Language (XML). Because VisualAge for Java (VAJ) is by far the most widely used Java tool among AS/400 and S/390 programmers, the book also includes an introduction to VAJ with both AS/400 and S/390 details. The book contains separate appendices, geared explicitly to OS/400 and OS/390 readers, with platform-specific information. Many analysts are predicting that Java will overtake COBOLs commanding lead as the language of choice for business applications running on mainframe and midrange computers. This leaves COBOL programmers with a huge problem. They do not know Java, nor do they understand object-oriented concepts. They have never seen a function, let alone free-form C-style syntax, classes, objects, or methods. Although there are hundreds of books about Java on the market, they all assume C, C++, or Visual Basic knowledge. It can be a humbling, daunting, and frustrating experience for a COBOL professional to try to learn Java without the proper prerequisite knowledge. This book will make learning Java as comfortable as possible.
