Programmers and developers, have you ever wanted a guide to tell you the things that you should be doing to ensure optimal performance as you write your Db2 programs?

DBAs, have you ever wanted a book that you can recommend to your Db2 programming staff that will give them direct, helpful advice to build high performance applications?

Well, here is your answer. Craig’s new book, A Guide to Db2 Application Performance for Developers, provides guidance and direction to Db2 application developers and programmers on how to write efficient, well-performing programs. If you write code and access data in a Db2 database, then this book is for you.

This book is written for all Db2 professionals, covering both Db2 for LUW and z/OS. When there are pertinent differences between the two it is pointed out in the text.

The book’s focus is develop­ing applications, not database and system administration. So it doesn’t cover the things you don’t do on a daily basis as an application coder.  Instead, the book offers guidance on application devel­opment procedures, techniques, and philosophies for producing optimal code.

The goal is to educate developers on how to write good appli­cation code that lends itself to optimal performance. By following the principles in this book you will be able to write code that does not require significant remedial, after-the-fact modifications by performance ana­lysts. Follow the guidelines in this book and your DBAs and performance analysts will love you!

Readers should have basic SQL knowledge. Additionally, the book will not rehash material that is freely available in Db2 manuals that can be downloaded or read online. It is assumed that the reader has access to the Db2 manuals for their environment (Linux, Unix, Windows, z/OS).

What you will get from reading this book is a well-grounded basis for designing and developing efficient Db2 applications that perform well. The book was first published in October 2018, and it is available to order now for both the ebook and print versions.

You can also order the book via Amazon.
