News/400 and The 400 School has just announed a new allaiance to provide Hands 
on
Technical training for AS/400 in RPG, COBOL, CL, DB2/400, etc.  Classes will be
held in the Meadowlands (New Jeresy) area starting in October.

See the announcement on page 120 in the August issue of News/400, and look for
additional information over the next few months.

(Fair disclosure, I'm one of the instructors.)
