Good reference book, although quite outdated. This is in fact a re-print of the original, pre-OS390 book. |

Great book if you have no previous UNIX knowledge and you are an MVS systems programmer or viceversa. Throughout the book the two operating systems are compared to each other so as to allow the expert of one of the system to understand how the other handles the same concept. |

By far the best book I have ever bought. Whether you are a DB2 expert or just want to broaden your knowledge, a systems programmer or a programmer, this book containes an enourmous amount of data which is beautifully presented. |

An excellent choice if you can already program in assembler and want to know more about how to exploit your knowledge to interact with the operating system. Not suitable for beginners. |

A little out of date, but clear and well layed out. It is suitable for beginners, but it goes well beyond the usual small exercises and concentrates more on the kind of routines that a systems programmer may found useful. |

Worth buying, this book is equally suitable for beginners as well as more experienced users. The material is presented in such a way that each part is self contained and more in-depth issues are tackled as the reader moves to the following part. It is therefore possibile to gain enough knowledge for the task at hand just by reading part of the book while more experienced users can skip directly to the trickiest topics. |

Interesting book, packed with information on security related topics, but also on TCP/IP and more. There is a definite bias towards the non-mainframe world, but it is definitely very useful for MVS systems programmers too. Also available as a free electronic copy. |

Interesting book written for Web security, but which can be useful for anybody working with security in general.
It describes the risks attached to the use of internet and all the different types of known attacks exploiting loose server policies or the possibilities offered by Java, ActiveX, CGI scripts etc.
It explains and demistifies Digital Certificates, Cryptography and SSL and clearly illustrates some of the legal issues related to the Web. |

Outdated but still useful, this book covers several topics explaining
concepts in an easy and practical way.Not a book for beginners, it can be used to gather information on the pro
and cons of a particular MVS configuration or gain immediate general understanding of important large-systems topics.
