Sanders, Dwaine R Snow Mc Press, 2008 Another Home Run It's not surprising that this book is extremely well written and informative considering the two authors. Roger Sanders is "the" DB2 author we all admire and Dwaine Snow has long been considered an "expert to the experts" so the collaboration of these two virtually guaranteed a success. Despite this being a Certification Study Guide (a slot that it fits very well indeed), the information this ...             Application Development: Managing the Project Life Cycle1 review Ted Beaumont, Mark Hoffman Mc Press, 1997 Extremely vague - written for people with no common sense. The title of the book should be: "Tips on how to use common sense" and not "Managing the Project Life Cycle." For $60 I expected a detailed and resourceful book that would help our company develop a reliable Software Life Cycle. This book wasted my time and my company's money. I would rather use ISO 12207 or MIL-STD 498 documents as a reference rather than this book.

Although I have rarely had problems using the C-style APIs from RPG, for some strange reason, the system APIs have always intimidated me. Perhaps it is the arcane terminology that IBM use to describe them. Perhaps it is the lack of good RPG examples in the manuals. Or perhaps I'm simply API-phobic. Whatever the reason, I have often turned to the experts when I needed ...             Java for RPG Programmers: 3rd edition10 reviews Phil Coulthard, George Farr Mc Press, 2006 Java for RPG programmers This is a great book on developing skills at Java programming when familiar with a different type of programming.
