There is no better kept secret in your computer than the chip that makes everything go. Most People simply look for Intel Inside and look no further. That paradigm had been working for years. Today you can find better performance and lower prices with alternative processing chips. Intel, the dominant chip maker in the world is a household name but is it still the technology leader that it claims to be? This book answers that question and it also gives you information that you need to know to understand what’s inside the engine of your computer and why the old maxims no longer apply. You won’t be able to put this book down. Everything you want to know about chips is in here. The beauty of this book is that it not only gives you the inside scoop on which engine should drive your PC, but it also offers a first-class business and historical perspective on a fascinating technology based industry.   The Chip War between AMD and Intel, IBM, and others will be big news for years to come. Even then, the case may not be decided permanently. Who will survive? Who will win the Chip Wars? This book gives you the best insights as to what the fight is all about and who is poised to win. Though this book was originally produced in 2005 and it is in its second reprint with minor modifications, it is still the defining book for programmers, analysts, IT Directors, network analysts, etc. Even John Q. Public can gain from reading this great book. It speaks the language of every day Americans and does not assume everybody is a technology engineer. You may even find yourself selling or buying some stock based on what you are about to gain from this book.   The Chip industry is a real soap opera and the facts actually make a great tale. When you read the details, you will be glued to this book. You will soon know the whole story. With lots of chatter behind the scenes, IBM,an unlikely contestant in the Chip Wars, is keeping very quiet. But isn’t Big Blue the leader in future home technology with its lock on the game console industry? Why is it that it seems that the only two chip companies who are not paying IBM for semiconductor advice are IBM and Intel? What about the many semiconductor partnerships going on today? Who will they benefit? Why does it seem that IBM, a company that is theoretically not even at war with Intel on all of the industry semiconductor teams? Could this group of partners be ready to take on Intel in the open community? Viva La Guerra!

Chip Wars: Written in 2005 with some updates—still the defining book on chip technology for programmers, analysts, IT Directors, network analysts…even John Q. Public.

The System i Pocket RPG & RPGIV Guide

This book is designed to be your pocket guide for learning and using the standard development tools (Application Development Tool Set -- ADTS) available with just about every AS/400 and IBM i server. Author Brian Kelly used his stand-up classroom courses as the basis for these self-contained QuikCourses. This book is based on 20 years of classroom experience and more than 30 years of experience with AS/400 and IBM i products. It is chock full of hands-on tutorial exercises. When you experience this very real, easy-to-understand explanation of what IBM i and its AD components are all about, and how to use the IBM AD tools, you'll understand the immense value of this guide. This is the first book to hand to new developers. With a little help from your system administrator, new-hires can use the AS/400 and IBM Application Development tools in days, not months. Moreover, existing developers can gain valuable insights, reminders, and tips to enhance their AD experience. This book is a very inexpensive tool for IT managers to use to create new programmers from smart people within the organization.

Finally, there is a Pocket Developer's Guide for native AS/400 and IBM i database development. Yes, it is in big pocket guide form and it is tutorial in nature. You'll be pleased with all the valuable examples. You won't want to put down this comprehensive guide to DB2/400 when you get your hands on it. As you may know, there typically is no DB Administrator position in AS/400 shops. The database job is up to you - the AS/400 and IBM i Application Developer. Though rich in content, IBM's reference manuals are not built to teach you. They are for reference. This pocket guide is different. It is your teaching/learning vehicle to the native database. It is your new tool to help you solve programming problems more efficiently with database coding - rather than have to work harder building program code.

A Learn By Example Guide for IBM i-based Application Development Finally, there is a Pocket Developer’s Guide for IBM i SQL data- base development. Yes, it is in big pocket guide form and it is tutorial in nature. You’ll be pleased with all the valuable explanations and examples. You won’t want to put down this comprehensive guide to learning IBM i SQL now that you’ve got your hands on it. This book is over 20 years overdue. In today’s IT landscape, most shops support heterogeneous systems with numerous client and server PCs, and even Unix boxes. Ironically, all of these non-IBM i platforms, from the smallest to the largest have one thing in com- mon in the relational database area. They all use SQL as their data language. That’s a big change in the database landscape. SQL is now the industry data / query language standard. IBM backs SQL 100%. A quick look at the SQL function list for the latest release gives a good indication that SQL will have an even more important role in the IBM i future. So, today, it makes little sense for an AS/400 and IBM i professional to not be on board by warming up to SQL – at least for functions that return sets of data. This Guide has an example for just about every type of common SQL function you can imag- ine – from creating tables & views to performing simple and complex selections, column and scalar functions, sub-queries, all the way to unions and joins. Author Brian Kelly designed this book to show you how to use SQL by working with rich examples that you’ll use over and over again. Additionally, for each example, there is the explanation you need to get a head start on being an SQL guru. This is the first book to hand to your new developers and veterans alike. More importantly, rather than Oracle being the only database taught at your local Community Colleges and Universities, this new up-to-date IBM i SQL Guide is the right size text for a modern database course. Contains end of chapter extras for teaching / learning.

Army made up for that game many times over the years. You’ll also learn why the immortal Dennis Michio can easily be captioned as the father of Army Football and it is not just because he did such a great job positioning the team for future greatness.
