The world of application development > has been rapidly changing over the past years. The good news is that IBM i > has been changing right along with it, and has made significant changes to > the RPG language. This book is intended to help developers understand what > modern RPG looks like and how to move from older versions of RPG to a newer > modern version. Additionally, this book covers the basics of ILE, interfacing > with many other languages, and the best tools for doing development on IBM i. > > Using modern tools, methodologies, and languages are key to continuing to > stay relevant in today’s world. Being able to find the right talent for you > shop is key to your continued success.
