Book Description
Mastering Cobol is the must-have tutorial/reference for experienced programmers who need to learn Cobol to work with legacy code. There is no other book with this emphasis! The book uses hands-on examples and extensive coding samples to teach the reader how to deal with the key issues facing today's Cobol programmer: mainframe code updates, Year 2000 corrections, Euro currency conversions, Web migration, and more. The book explores the Y2K problem in depth and offers migration and integration strategies for moving existing Cobol code into the 21st century. The CD includes a fully functional copy of the latest Fujitsu Cobol compiler (offered in no other book) and a complete library of sample code.

About The Author
Carol Baroudi, author of the best-selling The Internet for Dummies, has spent eight years developing and supporting COBOL. With the rise of various legacy code crises, she was inspired to write a clear, empowering COBOL book that will equip programmers with the skills they need to solve the problems at hand.

Reader Reviews
This is the best COBOL book I have ever read - clear (concepts, usages), resourceful (you can find everything you need very easily), practical (good examples). It has everything a COBOL expert may need. Comment | | (Report this)
