  • Reader Feedback and Insights: Odds and Ends Always Popular

    September 4, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Dear Readers:

    I thought I’d share a few of the many comments that I’ve received about the Odds and Ends column that I periodically publish in Midrange Guru.

    — Ted

    I love your Odds and Ends column. Please publish it more often–at least once a week. That is how I learn some programming tricks. Even if you don’t get questions from programmers, I am sure that you have enough tricks (by tricks, I mean smart way of doing things) that could help readers of Midrange Guru.

    — Manouchehr

    Your Odds and Ends column is wonderful. I have wondered for years how to keep debug from staying on an F spec for repeated F10s . Thanks!

    — Toni

    This is a great feature.  Please keep this column going.

    — Sonny

    I love the Odds and Ends!

    — Michelle

    Embrace VS Code for IBM i Development

    The IBM i development landscape is evolving with modern tools that enhance efficiency and collaboration. Ready to make the move to VS Code for IBM i?

    Join us for this webinar where we’ll showcase how VS Code can serve as a powerful editor for native IBM i code and explore the essential extensions that make it possible.

    In this session, you’ll discover:

    • How ARCAD’s integration with VS Code provides deep metadata insights, allowing developers to assess the impact of their changes upfront.
    • The role of Git in enabling seamless collaboration between developers using tools like SEU, RDi, and VS Code.
    • Powerful extensions for code quality, security, impact analysis, smart build, and automated RPG conversion to Free Form.
    • How non-IBM i developers can now contribute to IBM i projects without prior knowledge of its specifics, while ensuring full control over their changes.

    The future of IBM i development is here. Let ARCAD be your guide!
