Customer Reviews & Comments
I have used REXX extensively on mainframe and PCs. I have bought about every REXX book and manual I could find in the last 15 years. This book is not only the best REXX book ever, but one of the best computer books. As stated by the author below, the beginning is a very good introduction to all the basics with easy to follow examples. The remainder is excellent at teaching techniques. If you only ever have one Rexx book this should be it. Even if you already have Rexx books, this is a great addition that will not only show you some new things but become your first book to pull for reference. Ignore the negative review below, it's a not only a great diservice to the author, but to people looking for a good Rexx book and the Rexx community. This book is great and I have already sent emails about it to all my clients who use Rexx. Many thanks to you Howard Fosdick!
