There is an EGL book, it's not EGL for dummies but along with the
information sources below you will get a great start on learning EGL.

Peter,
I certainly recommend that you sign up for one of the distance learning
courses that IBM offers. While it is not geared specifically for i, it
does contain some valuable tricks and tips for our platform. The course I
took was actually two different sessions. EGL Foundation course runs you
through the basic design, operation, and syntax of EGL and its tools, with
hands-on labs. This one mostly uses the JSP tooling, but also covers
batch programs, EGL local services, and EGL web services. Second week
covered EGL-RUI, which is the new extension for EGL web 2.0 Rich UI. I
understand that IBM is thinking of recording one of these session series,
so that anyone can take them at their own pace. Not sure if this has
actually happened, but keep an eye open for it.
You might want to check out the EGL café, which is a growing community of
EGL enthusiasts.
www.ibm.com/rational/eglcafe
There are powerpoint presentations on the café, as well as project
interchange files (PIF) and database resources needed to work on the lab
exercises.
Here's a good site:

Hi group,
The manufacturer of our GUI is preparing a POC for replacing our current
RPG applications with EGL, in view of possibly moving from the iSeries to
Windows (unfortunately the Philips philosophy is "SAP unless..." and
"Windows unless...").
I'm a consultant in the "iSeries cell" to support the "legacy"
applications which are being phased out.
So if I want to stay on the wagon, I'll need to look into EGL.
Is there any "EGL for RPGLE programmers" book or course available, similar
to the "Java for RPG programmers" one?
Even an "EGL for dummies" would be welcome ;-)
I already downloaded & installed the RBD trial, and had a look at the
tutorials, but these seem to be geared more at people who don't know the
eclipse IDE. I've been using WDSCi since version 5, so I think I can say
that I know how to work in it.
Thanks in advance for any pointers here (although our vendor told us that
pointers are not supported in EGL ;-) )
