e-RPG Building AS 400 Web Applications with RPG
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.76/5 from 34 reviews e-RPG the easy way.eRPG - RPG does the web.An excellent book that covers everything you need to start using your AS/400 and RPG to serve content to the web. I especially appreciated the sections on configuring the AS/400 to be a web server and how the HTTP api's work. Like many RPG programmers I'm faced with having to update my skill set to learn new technologies such as Java, html, etc. This book is helping to make that transition easier by showing me how to use the strong data-handling features of the AS/400 and RPG with the web interface of CGI. I highly recommend this book to any RPG programmer wanting to become more familiar with web-enabled programming. You not only get a great book and companinon cd with usable examples, but a great web site with an eRPG forum where you can go for help. Many thanks to Mr. Stone! Did the author write all these positive reviews?I had great hope for what what I could learn from this book. But it's mostly on and on about little useful how to stuff. At COMMON recently I strolled past the (new publisher cause they said the original went Bankrupt) publisher's booth and they were joking about writing online reviews and testimonials! They must not have known I was there. I looked over his new book hoping it would address the important stuff but it's wasn't much better and it's too expensive to make this mistake again. If it's the boss's money what the heck. If it's your money then keep looking! | ||||||||||||||||||||
Brad Stone shows you everything you need to know form setting up the AS/400 (iSeries) as a web server, using HTML and JavaScript, using RPG to create the CGI needed to process web pages and completing it with an example online shop !!
This book made things seem extremely easy I was expecting to need in depth knowledge of API's but no he explains them with easy to understand words and even gets you to create what you need into a service program.
All I need to say is wow!!!
