RE: UIM apprentice...

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, thanks for the book review. I hadn't seen it before, so I was unaware of
the limited scope of that book. 

Simon, I'm waiting in line too, if you like. I made a quick pass at IBM's
documentation and I'd like to see more. I caught myself thinking about how I
could use UIM panels in a new project, but I have to restrain myself a bit
so I can learn it first...... <g>  I love this stuff.

Hello Simon,

I think such a book is needed - and would of course buy one, especially
with
your name on the front page!

I use various UIM templates to build menus, help panels and display panels
to interact with the UIM APIs - whenever I face the need to "twist" these
panels or their associated functions I also face hours of searching through
the documentation. - And I'm often left with the feeling that the final
result - with a little help from a book as the one suggested here - would
improve substantially in terms of both functionality and (re)useability.

As my experience - slowly! - grows I find hidden treasures and solid
built-in solutions to complex problems -- having a qualified guide to speed
up the learning process would easily justify spending an australian dollar
or two on such a book - I'd even pay up front! <g>

I don't know if you're familiar with Leif Svalgaards MI eBook
(http://Iseries400.org) but maybe such an approach would be a good way to
measure the actual interest without writing the whole book first - and
would
also allow for people to become convinced by seeing for themselves before
sending the credit card number!?

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg

Hello Eric,

You wrote:

>guide" <g>  Seriously, last time I looked into UIM, I was disappointed
with
>the documentation.

So how many of you would buy such a book?  I don't fancy spending the 4
months or so to create a quality book and only sell 3 copies.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
