RPG Programmer Alert: Your existing RPG III skills are outdated; the last RPG III enhancement happened more than a decade ago. Modern RPG applications are written using RPG IV (aka ILE RPG/400).

Bryan's introductory course will leverage your current RPG III knowledge to bring you completely up to date on the new RPG IV syntax.

The course also provides the foundation for the intermediate "RPG IV Modules, Procedures, and Service Programs" course.

The course comprises eight video presentations (5 hours). Optional lab exercises reinforce the class concepts. The streaming video package is entirely online (requires Flash video support). (Frequently asked questions)
