Product Description

From the Back Cover


80633-1

NetRexx is a new human-oriented programming language, designed as an effective and simple alternative to the Javatm language. With NetRexx, you can create programs and applets for the Java environment faster and more easily than by programming in Java. Using and writing Java classes is especially easy in NetRexx, as the different types of numbers and strings that Java expects are handled automatically by the language.

Inspired by two very different programming languages, Rexx and Java, NetRexx blends the easy-to-learn syntax of Rexx with the robustness and portability of the Java environment. The result is a language which is tuned for both scripting and application development, and is therefore truly general-purpose.

NetRexx, the fastlane to Java developement 5 Mar. 1999
By mcbrides@erols.com - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Textbook Binding
The NetRexx Language, by M.F.Cowlishaw is a simple to learn programming language that is compiled to java bytecode. If you have any background working with Rexx or even Basic, picking up on NetRexx will be a breeze.
The strongest point of NetRexx is that it requires perhaps one-third to one-half the keystrokes of a comparable java program. The second strong point is, your NetRexx is compiled to java bytecode and reaps all the benefits of writing to the JVM spec.
If you have any interest in Rexx, Java and wish to improve your productivity in writing java bytecode, you really should be looking into NetRexx and this book.

Undeservedly unknown programming language 5 May 2001
By René Jansen - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Textbook Binding
A very well written book, terse and to the point, as is its predecessor, "The Rexx Language". This book is very informative and all you need to start; to do some real-life projects, however, some Java class library knowledge is indispensable, because the NetRexx language enables the programmer to use everything that is in the Java platform.
NetRexx offers a nice way to write Java programs, without Java's C-heritage syntax. It is especially recommended for people with Rexx experience, for example on the mainframe.

Everything you need to learn NetRexx 21 May 2007
By Wayne - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Textbook Binding
If you want to use NetRexx, this book will give you everything you need to know. This is the hard copy edition of the free PDF version at the IBM website, and is a must have if you would like an easy to read and concise book on NetRexx.

I won't go into details on the content, since you can look at the free PDF to judge for yourself. But you can expect a book in the same style as the author's original book, The Rexx Language. If you like hard copy manuals, then seek this one out. If you do well with PDF versions on your computer, you might as well get it for free.

Deciding to obtain a copy of 2 Dec. 2005
By Orville L. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Textbook Binding
(...)
It appears to me that if you already have "The Rexx Language" and REXX programming experience, the IBM link provides the additional information you need to advance to the Netrexx level. Since I have not read "The Netrexx Language", this is an expression of my opinion and I am open to corrective comments by the author and others who have used the book. My rating of 5 stars is my best guess based on my knowledge of the author and the usefulness of his previous work "The Rexx Language".
