"To become network-centric-ready, you can wade through all the emerging books on Java, variously known as C++-(etc.) and "C++ with free condoms." A more practical approach might be to read Bob DuCharme's The Operating System Handbook (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1994), especially if your career has been restricted to the so-called operating systems of the PC persuasion. duCharme's spirited thesis is that the mainfram arena is not only undead but also is provably expanding and offering ever-richer job opportunities. After du study of The Operating System Handbook, you can add "Working knowledge of UNIX, OpenVMS, OS/400, VM/CMS, and MVS" to your resume and name your salary floor" -- Unix Review, 6/96
