RE: Beginner RPG Programming books ?

Hi Cyndi

It's not a book, and I know it's RPG III, but there's an online tutorial at
www.texas400.com that may help to get him started with the basics.  After
that, I would probably recommend Mark McCall's "The AS/400 Programmers
Handbook" volumes I & II as well as Bob Cozzi's "The Modern RPG IV Language"
and the IBM Redbook "Sorcerer's Guide..."

All the best

Jonathan

Subject: Beginner RPG Programming books ?

Help, I have a 17 yr old who has nearly completed his CCNA and now would
like to learn RPG / AS400 (nom du jour) programming. He has listened to his
dad & I talk about how there will be a shortage of programmers when I reach
retirement age. He would like to be there to step into the gap.

I have access to a 150 that I can set up at home for him to start learning
on. But I need some suggestions for books, preferably classroom style, that
he can start working on. 

TIA for suggestions.
