The book reviews the basic concepts of a business application and the way CICS meets these requirements. It then covers a wide range of application development technologies, including VisualAge for Java, WebSphere Studio, and Visual Basic. Users learn not only how to design and write their programs but also how to deploy their applications. http://www.digitalguru.com/dgstore/product.asp?isbn=1565926765&ac_id=68 ====================================== SEARCHSOLARIS.COM WEB LINK OF THE DAY ====================================== "A guide to passwords and password security" This page is written for students of Bergen County Technical Schools, but the information here applies to anyone using passwords as a security measure. It defines what a password is, what constitutes as password security and provides guidelines for choosing a good password -- all great information to distribute to employees. If you want to take it one step further, consider the warning the Bergen County Technology Center announces to its students: "If you choose an unsecure password, your account may be locked."

"Having a bad day? It's hilarious" It's the 30-second MPEG that brings joy to crabby cubicle creatures everywhere. For years, folks have received the clip as an e-mail attachment, and gleefully watched the drama play out from what appears to be an office surveillance camera. A portly worker slaps his monitor in frustration. Moments later he slams his fist onto the keyboard and eventually goes ballistic - smashing the helpless monitor and sending it flying out of camera range. Since 1997, viewers have wondered whether the clip was a Silicon Valley snuff film or a hoax. Now we know for sure.
