Mike -
Sorry for the delay in responding to this post about a book on RDi. I have
not only read the Yantzi/Haji RSE book Adam mentioned, I still use it as a
reference when questions come up that I can't answer from my own experience.
I think it's a fabulous book especially for beginners but also good for
experienced RSE users. They did a good job of balancing the RDi vs WDSC
versions of RSE by using RDi in screen shots, etc. but pointing out where
there are differences with WDSC.
As so whether non-RSE RDi functionality is missing - it does cover the
debugger, Application Diagrammer and integrated Screen Designer, although
RSE and editor is the main focus. RSE, editor and debugger are covered in
much more detail than the diagrammer and designer, IIRC. It was written to
RDi 7.1 and WDSC V7.0. I highly recommend it. It's called "The Remote System
Explorer" published by MC Press online - url is in the earlier post below.

Has anyone written a book on using RDi yet? I know there is a bunch of
stuff online but I still like my manuals :)
Rational developers Don Yantzi and Nazim Haji recently wrote a book(1)
about RSE. I'm not clear about whether there would be any non-RSE RDi
functionality that you might miss, but it suspect it could be quite
useful. I have not read it myself.
