I didn't read every chapter of this book, only the assigned ones, but it's time to finally get it off my "currently reading" shelf. I'm not really sure why I thought I would read the unassigned ones on my own. For fun, I guess? To be clear, this book is not fun to read. It works reasonably well as a textbook, but I found a lot of it to be what seemed to be needlessly confusing. That said, I OFTEN found a chapter would seem like gibberish, and then we would go through the end-of-chapter questions, and then I would look back and it was like the text had been rewritten behind my back, all clear and easy. I'm not sure how the shoemaker's elves got involved, but I think they meddled. Anyway, if you need to learn how to use IBM I programming, you could do worse than this book.
