Re: AS/400 RPG Certification Test

Question regarding the certification/testing...

I was in a bookstore recently and picked up a copy of "Ace the Technical
Interview" by Michael Rothstein, published by McGraw-Hill in 1994.  It is
geared to computer professionals being prepared for answering tough technical
questions they might face in an interview.  Yes, there is one chapter (out of
25 or so) on the AS/400 that totals about 20+ pages, giving some pretty
specific questions and answers.  The AS/400 chapter was written by Daniel
Robert Cohen.  Other chapters cover MVS, UNIX, RS/600 and AIX, CICS, Oracle,
SQL, etc....about 400 pages in all.

I'm pretty sure that, regardless, my $4.00 (!) investment was pretty
worthwhile.  But, since I'm not a programmer, I use technical texts like this
for a terminology source so I can at least attempt to have some working
knowledge and understanding when talking to programmers in my recruiting
activities.  Anybody out there familiar with this text or related edition of
another year? Are there any essential recommended texts I should purchase (as
a non-programmer on the AS/400) that would help as well?  

TIA,
