iSeries newbies unite

Go ahead, stand up, and hold your head up high and say it, "Hello. My name is Joe, and I'm an iSeries newbie!" Now, don't you feel better already? Let's all take a minute and welcome Joe into our group.

As funny as that may sound, we all know how it feels to be the new person in the group. We are often surrounded by iSeries veterans who have been around since the days of the System/36 and System/38.

For both iSeries newbies and seasoned professionals, the challenge of learning the ins and outs of the iSeries and keeping up with new technologies can be overwhelming. With that in mind, we've developed the "iSeries Resource Guide for Newbies." This guide provides you with the basic information you'll need to learn about the iSeries -- don't forget to bookmark it. Let's just consider this guide your 12-step program to iSeries smarts.

Go ahead, take the first step to iSeries recovery and say it out loud with me, "I'm an iSeries newbie -- but not for long!"

Check out the guide now.
