Unless you are doing multiples the courses here seem a bit pricey: http://www.ibmuser.com/train/train.htm We have several of them. IBM offers education http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ and click on education Select "The Campus search" Type in RPG. WDSC iSeries Application Development using WDSC V5 for iSeries My LUG just sponsored this in one day with IBM materials for $100. Normally a two day $1,200 course. I think it's a lab at COMMON also. For RPGIV: Three courses in the iSeries curriculum for programmers who are new to RPG IV. The series includes: iSeries RPG IV Version 5 Programming Fundamentals Workshop (S6197) 4 days $2,595 iSeries RPG IV Version 5 Programming Intermediate Workshop (S6198) 4 days $2,595 iSeries RPG IV Version 5 Programming Advanced Workshop (S6199) 4 days $2,820 Audience: Programmers who are new to RPG IV. Basic programming experience is required. You should have had attended at least an introductory course to programming, such as one of those available at technical colleges. Concepts of programming are not covered. Experienced programmers who are new to iSeries. Examples of other programming languages are BASIC, COBOL or RPG II. This course is too basic for experienced RPG III programmers. RPG III programmers who want to learn RPG IV should complete: Moving from RPG/400 to iSeries RPG IV (S6126) Notes: The term RPG/400 refers to both System/38 RPG as well as iSeries (AS/400) RPG/400 (also know as RPG III). This course focuses entirely on the features of the RPG IV Version 5 compiler and the techniques that this compiler provides. Both V5R1 and V5R2 features are discussed. Previous techniques and the maintenance of programs written using legacy techniques, such as fixed format calculations, are not covered in the classroom. Some additional material and the bibliography will assist the new RPG IV programmer in the maintenance of legacy applications. Love that comment about fixed format calculations. They'll come away thinking that RPG ain't such a bad language and the first program they'll see is one with 50 indicators and they'll be scratching their head trying to figure out: C 1 CABEQ 1 $XYGL Supposed to be an online lecture called Building e-business applications with RPG and WebSphere Development Studio (PWD Lab) Code: (ltu3475f) - Delivery Type: (Online/Media) - Speaker: (C.

Then there's: S6137 - Accessing the DB2 UDB for iSeries Database Using SQL S6138 - Developing iSeries Applications Using SQL Or http://www-306.ibm.com/services/learning/ites.wss/tp/en?pageType=page&c=a0001744 Discounts are available at http://www-306.ibm.com/services/learning/ites.wss/tp/en?pageType=page&contentID=a0002174 Is it legal to have a newbie sign an employment contract that says that basically makes them an indentured servant for two years after sinking that kind of money into them for training?

While Jon and Susan provide RPG classes that are outstanding, they seem geared towards "skill enhancement" rather than introduction. While this makes sense for their target audience, I wonder if there isn't a need for a tutorial on RPG? I'm thinking it might be based on, as you say, "real world" requirements. The book might then also serve as a comparison of how easily things are done in RPG as compared to "other" languages. Joe > From: Scott Klement > > I can teach more than that in a week!
