Reader Reviews
The Introduction to SNA Networking and the Advanced SNA Networking(Professional's Guide to VTAM/NCP) by Jay Ranade and George Sackett is excellent. This book takes a more high level view of SNA while still giving you important details. SNA is not a protocol that you can digest in one sitting or by just reading about it. If you have no experience in mainframes, take the reading slowly and try to apply it to your current mainframe environment. I have worked directly and indirectly with SNA for the past 12 years and I still refer back to the Jay Ranade/George Sackett books. I think this book delivers greatly on introducing SNA, APPN/APPC and Cisco's implementation of DLUR/DLUS, DLSW+, etc.. This book is one of those books that you will read multiple times and find something new each time. Definintely a reference book as well as a good tool to use in learning SNA and teaching SNA. But again, it's not TCPIP, so take it slowly. If you find this book too difficult, then try to get your hands on the Introduction to SNA Networking by Jay Ranade and George Sackett.
