Re: Java learning

[fkany@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Tony,

I'm in the same boat.  I bought Don Denoncourt's, "Java Application
Strategies for iSeries & AS/400" for $10 on sale at mcpressonline.com.  It
has a lot of detail and explanation of how RPG relates to Java.  I think it
gave me too much information and I started to get bored reading the book.
I think I'm going to use it as a Java reference book.

I bought Mike Mcgrath's, "JAVA in easy steps" for $9.95 at Barnes & Noble.
I haven't once been bored reading the book.  It's been great at teaching me
how to program in Java.  I figure once I learn the basics of JAVA then I
can refer to relevant chapters in Don Denoncourt's book to teach me how to
connect to the iSeries and integrate RPGIV programs with JAVA programs or
add/update/delete DB2 data files.

With Don & Mike's books, I believe I'm off to a good start.  If you run
across any good books, let me know what you think of them.

Thanks,

Frank

Subject:    Java learning


I have started studying Java, and I am looking for recommendations as
to reading material.  Specifically, I want to explore using Java with
RPGIV.

Initially, I thought that it might be nice to deploy java applets in
browsers as an inquiry/report delivery vehicle.  Once I started
learning it, I can see many more uses also.  It is just hard to know
where to start regarding using Java and RPGIV.

Suggestions?
