Don Denoncourt is a Java evangelist who has taught more than 700 hours of Java seminars to AS/400 and iSeries programmers in various cities across the United States. He spent 10 years in the world of business application design using RPG and Cobol before one day beginning to wonder whether there was more to programming than structured applications. Five years as a C++ systems programmer at ASNA taught him the tenets of object-oriented programming, and he has preached its gospel ever since. According to Don, “The way is object-oriented programming; the language of the way is Java.” Don is a contributor to iSeries NEWS and was a senior technical editor for Midrange Computing.
