Bryan Meyers' new Power Tips book is just what the doctor ordered!

Power up your RPG IV development with this collection of tips, techniques and ideas in a handy, pocket-sized format. It's full of short, practical, reusable ideas that you can easily plug in to your everyday programming environment. And many of the tips are packaged as procedures that you can easily bind into ILE programs or service programs. If you haven't started reaping the benefits of procedures yet, here are some seeds to get you started.
 

 
A word from the author:

"RPG programmers and students constantly ask me for examples of RPG IV code. It seems an almost impossible task to satisfy their hunger for code examples. Over 30+ years of RPG programming and corporate training, it’s obvious to me that looking at other people’s code is an incredibly effective means of learning RPG IV."

"Not only are examples useful in learning RPG IV, but they also serve as a great reservoir of reusable code in your day-to-day programming activities. RPG programmers (for that matter, most computer programmers) are notorious copiers. I’m sure I could convincingly defend the premise that the last truly original RPG program was written in 1973, and that everything since then has been a copy."

"Power Tips for RPG IV adds to that reservoir of examples. For the most part, these tips consist of small examples that illustrate a principle or a technique. Many of the tips are coded as procedures or service programs so that you can easily incorporate them into your own bag of tricks. You might be able to use some of them as-is; with others, you’ll want to expand or modify them to suit your needs."
