Gary,

I highly recommend "Code Complete" (2nd edition) by Steve McConnell.  This book 
is published by Microsoft Press, but it is a general purpose tome on good and 
effective development practices.  The second edition contains chapters covering 
modular design, which is not precisely the same as "Object Oriented" design, 
though related....  Applying an object based design for ILE modules is a very 
effective means of refactoring your code and adopting a more flexible 
development strategy.

Of course, IBM's developer roadmap highly recommends this activity, as this is 
one of the steps required to deploy RPG based logic via SOA.  

Good luck!

Subject: OO Concepts education


I have a large rewrite project on the horizon and I am interested in 
embracing some OO concepts when re-writing the RPG, i.e. use of more 
modular code rather than behemoth applications. Is anyone aware of 
available education to introduce the concepts to my development team, if 
only at the 50,000ft level. I'm not looking to make Java programmers out 
of them, but be able to write code more suited to later becoming EJBs, for 
the Java/Web team to take advantage of.

Many thanks

Gary
