Java Application Strategies for iSeries and AS 400 at Dominant Systems Book Store

Java Application Strategies for iSeries and AS/400--Second Edition provides a much-needed look at the realities of using Java to develop real-world OS/400 applications. Don Denoncourt draws on his years of experience as a business application programmer and on his acknowledged expertise in Java to lead RPG programming professionals through the potential pitfalls of object-oriented programming (OOP), teaching them effective strategies for Java application design and programming. Covering the gamut of Java application strategies, this book includes introductory information on Java and object-oriented programming, methods for integrating object-oriented techniques into your application design, a description of the utilities and tools available on iSeries and AS/400, methods to access DB2/400 with Java, ways to integrate Java with your legacy applications, and a tutorial on how to develop a Java GUI. New to this edition are sections on server-side Java and the Web--an up-to-date look at servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), and programming server-side applications on the Web.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I've purchased many Java books and several Java books geared towards AS/400 professionals. This is the first book that actually made sense from cover to cover. I HIGHLY recommend this book for AS/400 professionals wanting to learn Java, JSP, Servlets and the latest features of the AS/400 toolbox for Java. I had a bit of knowledge about Java before reading this book and was able to get to the next level using this book. Although the examples were very informative and efficiently conveyed the lessons, I found some errors in the example code (First example has one). My only wish would be that the examples had more cleanup and error handling in them but I guess they didn't want the code to be too complicated and stay focused on the lesson at hand. In addition to learning Java, I was able to quickly configure a Tomcat Web Server on our AS/400 using this book. The book also covered JDBC 2.0 which is a must, especially for database oriented AS/400 professionals. Don Denoncourt has a very clear way of explaining and illustrating the concepts of Java.
