Eleven years and still going

Another year has passed, and this blog is now eleven years old. It is still a labor of love, and I want to continue to bring you the news about IBM i and IBM Power, and the best examples of using IBM i. I am grateful to all of you for visiting this site, and especially to you who have reached out to me with their feedback and encouragement.

On the personal side I was grateful to be recognized by IBM as an IBM Champion for Power for the fourth year.

At this year's COMMON PowerUp I was awarded a Gold Medal pin for having a presentation in last year's PowerUp that was in the top 1% of reviews.

I have spoken at more events than COMMON's PowerUp in the last year. I am grateful to all of you IBM i user groups for asking me to do this, and to those of you who attended these presentations. If you are interested in me talking to your group or conference contact me and we can work out a date and time that works best for both of us.

If you see me at a user group event feel free to introduce yourself and say "Hi".

I do need to call out RZKH and say a big "vielen Dank" to them. Without their support I would not be able to write this blog.

And i need to thank all of the advertisers, whose generosity makes this website possible.

Again I want to thank y'all. It is your feedback that makes me realize that my work is worthwhile.

Here is to another year of RPGPGM.COM!

    I'm 2 days late, but happy 11 years to RPGPGM, perhaps the best site ever made for RPG developers. Simon Hutchinson's genius really shows through in the decade's worth of educational content he's put together for our community.

  22. Congratulations, Simon. Your site quickly became my "go to" resource for new features and how to do all things RPG, SQL and CL related. I don't know how I made it through the my first six years programming on the IBM i without your knowledgeable and easy to follow posts. Cheers to 11 years! and hopefully many, many, many more!
