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.
