Summary: Practical Information for the AS/400 Java Developer
Review: I was quite pleased with this book. It was full of practical information for getting Java 'up and running' on the AS/400. In particular, I was thankful for the discussion and examples of how to compile/execute using the AS/400 command line.It is not a beginner Java book, nor is it intended for those with more traditional AS/400 skills (e.g. RPG, COBOL, etc.) But if you are familiar with Java and need to get it going on your 400, this is a great book to have.

Summary: Does NOT teach Java, and goes through VisualAge too rapidly.
Review: It is unusual to find a book that has exactly the right content presented in exactly the right way at exactly the right time. This was the case for me and Dan's book. Having had some experience with Java and just beginning to involve the As/400, I was going from the relatively easy, intuitive environment of Inprise's JBuilder to the totally non-intuitive Unix shell environment of Java on the AS/400. It seemed that every time I would run into a problem(which was often), Dan had already encountered it and explained it in his book. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone with Java experience who is contemplating working with Java on the AS/400. It will save you many heartaches and lots of time. By the way, the fact that the book uses VisualAge for Java and I use JBuilder was of no consequence. Thanks Dan for providing the right help at the right time

Summary: Java and the As400
Review: Reviewers below have hit the nail on the head. I have no previous Java experience and I still no little (or nothing about it). However, I now DO know the concepts of have java is implemented on the AS/400, the IFS etc. In summary if you want to learn the concepts buy it. If you want to learn java or VAJ buy something else

Summary: Vinit Sarsawat(Sun and IBM Certified)
Review: This book is the most important for those who want to enter the world of enterprise web integration. I started learning from this book and other IBM Visual Age redbooks about 2 years ago. Although I wasn't new to java programming back then, but I still needed this book to complete AS/400 to web integration project. This book helped me understand the details of AS/400 toolbox classes and how to effectively use these classes. It gives in depth information about AS/400 Integrated File System(IFS), Qsh interpreter(AS/400 unix like environment). There are ample examples in the book about invoking RPG programs from java programs. It also explains subfile and other dds specific classes from Toolbox. In a nutshell this book ushered me in the world of enterprise integration with java programming.
