Here's what readers are saying about iSeries and AS/400 SQL at Work by Howard F. Arner:
Anyone working with AS/400 query should look into buying this book. Now using AS/400 query seems a little odd and very cumbersome. His writing is laid out very well and is easy to read. While reading this, I felt that he was actually there explaining the chapters to me as a one-on-one instructor. -- Jonathan Tripp, Deerfield Beach, Florida
If you wondered how to call AS/400 programs from your Visual Basic program correctly, this book is your one source for how to do so. It's the first book on the market that answered all of my client/server questions when I deal with PC to AS/400 programming tasks.
Not only does Howard do a good job of explaining how stored procedures work, but he gives some great coding examples on how to get you up and running correctly. Howard goes the extra mile and talks about performance, too--one thing that normally is lacking in many other books . -- Bob Butcher, Sidney, New York
