COBOL for Dummies

Amazon.com

It's a rare Dummies book that manages to appeal to experienced practitioners as well as novices. COBOL for Dummies pulls it off, explaining the intricacies of COBOL to new programmers as engagingly as it provides hints and shortcuts to seasoned COBOL programmers.

Griffith opens with exactly what beginners need: an overview of the structure of COBOL programs. This elementary information, which should be familiar to more experienced programmers, serves as the basis for deeper coverage in subsequent chapters. One section of the book explains the DATA DIVISION and all the details of how COBOL represents information in memory. Another portion explores the PROCEDURE DIVISION, telling readers how to make COBOL actually do things with data. All the important verbs--and some arcane but useful ones---are highlighted.

This book really shines in its explanation of input and output--two commonplace routines that aren't easy to do efficiently with COBOL. Griffith, an experienced COBOL contractor, has come up with good input, output, and sorting solutions that you can paste into your own programs.

The CD-ROM accompanying this book contains, among many other things, Fujitsu COBOL development tools, which were selling for $2,500 just a few months ago. Even without the text, this book represents a savings of 98.8 percent on the excellent Fujitsu software--a blue-light special of legendary proportions. If you're doing any work with COBOL, you need this book.

Book Description

COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language) is an old-timer in a world of Java and Visual Basic upstarts. But although newer languages garner all the attention, COBOL continues to be the programming workhorse for major, long-established industries, such as banking, insurance, and utilities. COBOL For Dummies is the indispensable, practical reference for anyone charged with writing, tweaking, updating, or just double-checking COBOL code. Programming expert Arthur Griffith knows COBOL inside and out and shows you, among other things, how to Y2K-proof your mainframe or minicomputer. Plus, the bonus CD-ROM accompanying COBOL For Dummies features plenty of ready-to-use source code and Fujitsu COBOL, complete and fully functional. In addition, the CD-ROM includes Demo versions of Acucobol for Windows 3.1, 95, and NT A set of COBOL interpreters from Deskware for AIX, Linux, SunOS, Solaris, and Windows 95/NT A demo version of the Micro Focus NetExpress development environment A bonus appendix that shows you how to write COBOL programs that generate reports with headers, footers, running totals, and subtotals Another bonus appendix full of diagrams to help you remember the syntax of COBOL's verbs

This book is a good place to start.......2001-08-24

I picked up this book before I started my mainframe training and it was nice to have as a reference. If you have never programmed in COBOL before then this book is for you.

I have passed this book off to a fellow co-worker who is interested in learning COBOL.

This book only gives you the very basics and that is it. But I would suggest that you read this book before trying to tackle a more involved book. Also, I don't think that this book will help you code very well, but it is good for definitions and simple explanations.

Just for the Beginner.......1999-04-27

If you never had any experience with COBOL, this book is the place to start. Although it doesn't give many full programs for you to see, it does help you understand the way the language works. As I said, this is a great book to start learning COBOL, and you can then go on to the other books to get deeper into the language. The only problem I encountered was the Fujitsu compiler is an expired version. I've been using COBOL since 1982 and this book is on my shelf.

Good book, but be real.......1999-04-26

This book is well worth buying for those needing an introduction to COBOL. If you are getting it to get the Fujitsu compiler, be aware that it is the previous version and that it is available for free download from the Fujitsu web site.

this book was my salvation to score on my cobol class ........1999-04-16

from the first page i read, i thought "this is my salvation" i can actually understand what i'm reading and it makes a lot of sense!

not well organized, difficult to use.......1999-04-13

too much attempt at being funny (and not succeeding) useful information but hard to get at

With Linux's popularity as a workstation operating system skyrocketing and GNOME the most popular desktop environment for Linux, it makes sense for programmers to develop proficiency in GNOME programming. Old Unix salt Arthur Griffith relates his considerable knowledge of GNOME and its underlying graphics libraries in GNOME/GTK+ Programming Bible. He knows X programming very well, and does a fine job of introducing programmers (he assumes only familiarity with C) to GNOME, GTK+, GDK, and the rest of this Linux graphics hierarchy. Readers learn how to create buttons, menus, and other graphical user interface (GUI) elements, as well as polygons, pixels, and other custom graphics forms.

Griffith's style goes heavy on code, which may or may not be to your liking. He typically introduces a concept (such as reacting to mouse events or moving polygons around a canvas), writes a bit about the language elements that support it, and then unleashes a listing of code to implement the task and variations of it. After each code listing, he explains what's going on in the program. The most appealing part of Griffith's book is his depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing it. He's like a kid in a candy store, but he gets to talk about the candy too. Read this volume for a well-grounded and wide-ranging explanation of what you can do with graphics under GNOME. --David Wall

Topics covered: Programming graphics and GUIs in the GNOME windowing environment. Areas of emphasis include windows, dialogs, interface widgets, and other library-based GUI elements, as well as more flexible (and complex) graphics-creation techniques. Specific attention goes to color, mouse and keyboard event detection, fonts, drag and drop, and building your own widgets. A GTK reference appears in an appendix.

Book Description

With the rise of such Windowslike desktop environments as GNOME, Linux is poised to go mainstream. Programming expert Arthur Griffith shows beginning to advanced C and C++ programmers how to use the Gimp ToolKit, GNOME widgets, and other open source tools to create user-friendly graphical interfaces for GNOME desktop applications and much more.

The CD-ROM includes all the examples used in the bible, GNOME core files and libraries, a compiler, autoconf, and automake.

Customer Reviews:

should have been called a tutorial NOT a bible.......2002-11-27

This book is a fast and easy intro to gtk and gnome programming. It contains large, complete examples which are good if you want to do what everyone else is doing. However, I'm trying to draw data and I need something better than calling gdk_gc_set_foreground(); gdk_draw_point(); 256 times for every data set.

He uses a large number of gdk routines without providing any overview. The routines are explained where they are used but it's very haphazard. Most of the routines I need seem to be missing.

The references for Gtk and Gnome widgets list functions, enums and signals for each but doesn't explain anything about them. Parameters and return values are only discussed in the text if they are actually used.

Good start.......2000-12-07

This book started out very good, although it doesn't explain alot of the widgets and getting data from the widgets very well, for example i had search for around 2 hours for ways to get data from the OptionMenu widget that was not explained at all in the book. The book also lacks good discription for what each function does in the GTK+ reference.

Too bad it contains mistakes..........2000-11-15

This book is informative, well designed and, in general, a good book.

The only thing I did not like about this book is the errors that it contains and the fact that the publisher doesn't publish a list of errors. Sometimes the explanation says one thing and the code that goes with it says another. (ex: Take a look at page 27 (the code) and take a look at the explanation on page 28. It claims that if eventDelete returns TRUE, the window closes. The code says otherwise)

Please put some pressure on the publisher so that he corrects the book in a second printing.

Too bad it contains mistakes..........2000-11-15

This book is informative, well designed and, in general, a good book.

Please put pressure on the publisher so that he corects the book.

A good bood that give examples of advanced GTK+/GNOME featur.......2000-10-02

GNOME/GTK+ Programming Bible is a good book but has many short commings. The good part is that it discusses some of the more advanced features of GTK+ and GNOME; specifically Paned windows, MDI windows, and Scrolled windows. The examples are generally very simplistic and way too many of the function call parameters are never explained. In the listing of GTK+ and GNOME features, the main calls are completely omitted; listing calls that support the main Widget building call. Only the function prototype is given, with no explanation as to the meaning of the call parameters. This said, I still find it a very useful book for the examples it provides that do not appear in the other books. The appendices appear to give a fairly complete listing of: Inheritance, Arg Settings anf Getting, Enumeration Types, Signals, Functions by Return Type.

Book Description

Updated and revised to include the top 50 communities in the country, complete with an interactive, searchable CD-rom.

50 Fabulous Places to Retire in America, Third Edition has the answers to one of the biggest questions you'll ever ask yourself: Where am I going to live when I retire? For some, the answer is as simple as right here, of course.

However, for those adventurous souls who find themselves deliciously intrigued by the notion of going somewhere else after retirement, or even for those who are only considering a move, this book will prove to be an entertaining—and invaluable—resource.

With his engaging and congenial style, author Arthur Griffith describes 50 of the most attractive, accessible, and outright fabulous places to retire in the United States: lovely, welcoming, convenient, soul-satisfying, warm, sunny, cold, snowy, desert, mountainous, plains, ocean-front, big-city, small-town, way-out wilderness, or just-around-the-corner locations to call home. The book also includes an easy-to-use, interactive CD containing a wealth of information to make your search that much easier— and a lot more fun!

Do you want to raise exotic orchids? Want to breed miniature horses? Want to sit by the ocean and count the eagles flying? Looking for the best country-western town? The best golfing for the money? The most shopping per square foot? How about hunting, fishing, and trapping? No matter how specific and unique your desires are, this comprehensive book covers it all!

And for the more practical reader who needs concrete facts and figures, look no further: From annual precipitation to sample costs of residency, you will find numbers and statistics to warm the heart of the most detail-oriented economist in the house.

Over the past several years, Arthur Griffith has lived all over the United States as a radio broadcaster, an engineer, and a computer consultant. He has authored 12 books, and currently teaches online from his home on the (unpaved) North Fork Road near Anchor Point, Alaska. He lives there with his wife, Mary, and their two cats, Captain Editor and Miss Effie. Occasionally, he may be found directing or acting in local community theatre productions.

Good book but do you trust the numbers?.......2006-10-16

This is a good book - 3* to 4* you call it, regardless of whether it hits your favorites. While not the best, it is a useful addition. However, the book falls short in two areas.

1) It is more of a compilation of facts than it is a guide. You never get a sense of the 'personality' of each place or learn what it would be like to live there. And it is this 'personality' which causes informed people to select completely different towns to which to retire.

2) Some of the fact based data is suspect or confusing. I honestly don't know which. For example, the national averages for crime are listed differently in different places (numbers rounded)...

- total national average: 4325, 2736, 4119, 4532
- national average violent crimes: 348, 331, 496, 702, 398
- national average property crimes: 2459, 4533

To be fair, the authors actually do repeat the same numbers sometimes. But the data for some cities doesn't seem to match other data sources. For example, Scottsdale is cited as having 60 crimes per 1000 people (higher than the national average, assuming we know the average). Published FBI statistics are lower than 60 (?). And Tucson is listed as having "its share of drug traffic and related crime". What is one supposed to do with this incisive insight?!

Why these places?.......2006-08-03

The data and information finished for each city seemed to be up to date and useful. The selection of which city were included was just weird. California had only three cities: the old line, expensive Palm Springs, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. On the other hand, Alaska also has three cities: Anchorage, Homer, and Palmer. How Alaska is beautiful and a great place to take an extended summer vacation, but I would think only a few people will want to retire there. It just seemed to be a random selection of cities around the US.

I do not know what was on the CD. The CD software would not install on my computer (Window XP). It seemed to be trying to access/change off limit areas.

An eclectic viewpoint of retirement.......2006-05-27

The authors do a fine job of covering all of the bases and a vast majority of the 50 states in looking at favorable places to retire. They do not come to the table with a predefined viewpoint of what a retired person wants. Instead, they take a "facts in brief" approach to describing each potential retirement destination and let you make your own judgements. Each destination's article starts with describing the median home price, percentage of population over 65, closest metro area, population size, and finally a short paragraph describing the "Best Reasons To Retire Here".

Next there is a climate table with Jan./April/July/Oct./Year labeling each row and the average high temperature, low temperature, precipitation in inches, and percentage sunshine labeling each column. All utility costs and companies are listed next. The section entitled "The Tax Axe" shows all state and local taxes and fees including car registration, driver's license, sales tax, state tax, retirement income tax (bonds, stocks, etc.), and property taxes including any senior exemptions if they exist. There is a section on local real estate that includes average price of a 3 bedroom house, average price of a 2 bedroom condo, housing styles, rental market, average rent, communities popular with retirees, and nearby areas you might want to consider. There are additional sections on the local job market, medical care, special services for seniors, continuing education such as local junior colleges, crime and safety statistics, transportation including nearby airports, and a final section entitled "Let the Good Times Roll" which outlines culture, recreation, and special events. Each locale's section concludes with websites, addresses, and phone numbers where additional information can be found if desired.

I really appreciated the fact that there were only eight Florida locations mentioned out of the 50, and that rural, urban, heartland, and coastal destinations were all included. I'm a Texas native that has been transplanted to the east coast, and it seems that the local retirees and soon-to-be-retired on the east coast have a kind of tunnel vision that makes many of them believe that Florida is an elephant burial ground in which they are destined to end up and really causes them to self-limit their choices. Likewise, my fellow Texans seldom think of setting foot outside the state of Texas when they retire and usually wind up spending retirement within 100 miles of where they lived pre-retirement, regardless of their resources. Hopefully, potential retirees from all parts of the nation will pick up this book and realize that there is a big country out there with valid retirement choices in all parts of it.

Good For Organizing Your Thoughts.......2006-05-22

There are three things tht I really like about this book:

1. He has developed an excellent format for checking out the characterists of a community. Rather you use his recommendations or not, these are questions that you would want to answer about any community in which you are thinking about retiring.

2. He has selected a series of cities that you probably wouldn't think of investigating yourself and done the investigation for you. I mean, who would have thought of Ruston, Louisiana.

There are a couple of things that I think might have been done differently.

1. There is a trend to moving into the city. New York, for instance has excellent transportation, medical facilities, and of course Broadway. As oil for heating and gasoline gets more and more expensive, this may be important.

2. One of his cities is Lafayette, Louisiana. Anyone moving there that isn't being transferred by an oil company or something like that had better like hot, humid and bugs. (I was born a bit east of there.)

Wait, I said that there were three things I liked and only mentioned two of them. The third thing I liked is that he didn't mention where I live. It's a great place, but we have enough people.

You can retire well.......2006-02-23

Even if you did not take your financial planner's advice to save as much as you should have, Mary and Arthur Griffith give you hope that you can find an engaging place to fit your budget and your dream of something special for retirement. The book feels more like a travelogue and yet has the honesty of mentioning drawbacks as well as beauties of the place. The details of costs are there for the number cruncher in the family and what to do when the grandkids visit is there for the social secretary.
They present a very intelligent structure for the critical information so you can compare places. You can also use their structure as a guide when you discover a place that you want to evaluate on your own. Gift this book to friends and to youself even if you are years away from retirement. Start dreaming about years of free time and remember that long vacation has a price tag. As a financial planner and radio show host who had the pleasure of interviewing Mary Griffith, I was impressed by the authors' delight in the variations of lifestyles, and by the integrity of the research in this well written book. Enjoy learning about America, vacation at some of the places and plan for your future.

Useful and comprehensive, but too hastily written.......2006-01-17

This is a useful book for those who need in-depth information on GCC, but needs more effort in both writing and editing. There are numerous copy-paste-itis errors (contact me for a list), which shows that it was not properly proof-read. It also has passages in various chapters which are nearly duplicates of each other, e.g., two "Multiple Source Files to Executable" passages (pages 70 & 106), and five on "Creating a Shared Library" (73, 110, 132, 144, 165). Admittedly some of the details vary from language to language, but there's no explanation of what these differences are; the passages are merely repeated with minor changes.

There are larger but similar problems with the organization of the book. For example, I would have greatly preferred a logically-organized listing of command-line options to a merely alphabetical order. A reader who wants an alphabetical organization can already get it from the manual. This arrangement also leads to problems with the exposition, e.g., the definition of -MQ assumes the definition of -MT, which it precedes. There are other problems with the order of exposition; for example, there's a two and a half page sample of RTL code on 367-9, which is incomprehensible before the explanation of RTL on pp. 387-417, and badly in need of more detailed exposition even afterwards.

Clear, comprehensive, authoritative.......2006-01-05

Recommended for Unix programming (Linux, too) students and serious programmer wannabes.

This is your "How do I eat this GCC thing?" book.......2004-05-28

When you are new to a platform you want to get a book that explains the big picture on how things work in this platform; you also want to get enough information on how to get started, not just the easy stuff that you can figure out yourself. This is that book for the GNU platform. If you are already a GCC guru, you probably will find little new here, but if you come from another compiler this book will give you a great introduction with enough information so you can start working right away and be productive from the first day.

Exactly what is states in the title!.......2002-10-16

The author is knowledgable enough that one would assume he single-handedly developed GCC. Any doubts to his authoritativeness were quickly dismissed as I finished the introduction in this behemoth of a reference.

The Book is divided Into 3 parts(4 actually).

The first part delves into the reasons as to why? and what? regarding the creation/use of GCC. It also covers some incentives to continue through the book, which are later examined in detail. Installation, configuration, and usage is covered here. And covered quite well!

The second part details the mechanics of the compiler with tests and examples that take you through the workings of it. Mixing of different languages into one native-executable, experiments and understanding of the compiler's built in extensions/pragmas, and demystification of the command-line switches are all covered in this section. Also this section covers this in great detail as with the first part!

The third part of this book gets right into the fun stuff of learning how to properly set up configuration and make files. It covers a *great* deal of extra resources commonly found on systems with GCC installed and makes haste to demystify these as well. This was my favorite part of the book. I had no idea in the nine hells to even begin creation of 'configure' scripts manually(try reading the man/info pages for make and autoconf and watch your hairs get pulled out by your hands!). This section is concise and to the point!

Part 4 is an extremely important part of the book. This part covers ALL of the command-line switches and directives for use with GCC(and it's family of compilers). You learn where, when, and how to use the advanced functionality. A section in this part also covers all the environmental variables; this helps greatly when you are trying to figure out a perfect function/class/struct/call to do a procedure that ends up taking months...then you see here that a single variable contains actual data/info already!

All in all, this book is concise. I love it. It currently sits next to my Stroustrup(C++ Programming Language), Josuttis(C++ Standard Library), and Sedgewick(Algorithms in C++ 1-5). This book is upstanding. The only reason as to why I gave it 4/5 stars is because of the formatting. It reminds me of something you would find in a Prima Tech "Game Programming" book: large font, bulky, and divided. This is not the authors fault though since this same tasteless formatting is used in all other Osborne "Complete Reference" books.

Book Description

Focus: This book consists of 30 sessions that teach the core concepts of UNIX over a weekend. It focuses on the standard core UNIX OS and teaches the basics needed to perform system administration and programming in the UNIX environment. It focuses on the common aspects among the different flavors (or types) of UNIX, noting the important differences throughout. Topics covered include the many flavors of UNIX; manipulating files; writing shell scripts; batch editing and programming with awk; Perl programming; Apache Web Server; and Internet security.
WCC series features: Each session takes 30 minutes to complete. Four time-to-go icons ("30 Min To Go," "20-min To Go," "10 Min To Go," and "Done!") gauge the reader's progress through any given session. "Quiz Yourself" questions (at the end of each session) and "Part Review" questions allow the reader to review what they have just learned. Skill assessment software on the CD-ROM helps readers gauge their skill level before and after reading this book.
ABOUT THE CD-ROM
Contains skills assessment software based on the sessions in the book; UNIX tools; and sample scripts from the book.

Very nice reading!.......2005-05-24

The book is very informative and offers much of useful knowledge!
I have used it with training DVD that found here on Amazon. It is DVD "UNIX Essentials" that nobody knows about. It is very cool one, straight to the subject, very useful. I used this book and "UNIX for dummies" with this DVD and I believe I learned more then my friend who attended $2000 class.
This book is good , but DVD is DVD, it is like you have class at home. This book is very useful though.

Unbelievably Good.......2004-09-30

PROS:
1. Good broad range of topics
2. Excellent explanations and depth
3. As a general UNIX book it is quite good. Not specific to any type and offers enough on the popular UNIXes.
4. Liberal use of well explained examples. NOT a dry dictionary of syntax.
5. No filler... 100% useful content that is not hidden by fluff.
6. CDs help you to experiment.
7. Good tone.

CONS:
1. Some of the segments that are supposted to take 30 minutes may take longer because the content takes a bit longer to digest.
2. Not really a con because it is somewhat a separate topic... doesn't disuss SAMBA or Windows interoperability. But that is an application, as well as Apache... not core UNIX.

GENERAL:
I was surprised to find that this was the best non-detailed UNIX book I have read. And if you want more detail on something, just consult the on-line manual pages. But this book gives you pretty much most of what you need to know. This is what O'Reilly's UNIX in a Nutshell should have been. Also better than O'reilly's Learning UNIX and more lean and mean than UNIX power tools.

Overall this is even better than UNIX System Administration Handbook (by Evi Nemeth and others) IF YOU ARE an experienced administrator cause that book rambles on and meanders into too many side topics... e.g. explaining tcp/ip. That book has grown to now wanting to be too many things to too many people. That book is best for the rookie admin, or the person who just likes computers and got put in charge of a network with UNIX servers.

This UNIX weekend crash course has all the essentials. Note you will need other books or on-line resources for popular UNIX applications such as SAMBA (simulating Windows file servers and domain controllers), APACHE (for running a web server) and SENDMAIL or POSTFIX (for a mail server).

But if you are new to UNIX or need a quick refresher... this is DEFINITELY one of the first books you should get.
