The Minimum You Need to Know About SOA

This book is currently being written. With a lot of luck it will hit the market around the end of 2007. It covers various topics and techniques for implementing a Service Oriented Architecture on the OpenVMS platform using ACMS, the languages covered in "The Minimum You Need to Know to Be an OpenVMS Applicaiton Developer" and Java. The primary focus of the book is porting FMS based business applications to Intranet and Internet applications using ACMS.

Zinc It! 1.5 UIW_TABLE Exposed

ISBN: 0-934272-41-7

Format: Paperback, 128pp
Pub. Date: August 1996
Publisher: John Gordon Burke Pub., Inc.

This book is out of print. It was written to help developers use the newly introduced UIW_TABLE object. Documentation and example programs provided by the vendor caused massive confusion. This book built upon the first book as far as tools used.

Available in PDF format from the Google book site. There are no printed copies left to my knowledge. My last printed copy went to Google so they could scan it to PDF. At some point they will finish scanning it.

Written by Roland Hughes and originally put out by John Gordon Burke Publisher, Inc. in 1995. A limited number of copies have been retrieved from storage and will be available through a page at the Island Computer Web site in the future. A CD-ROM is included with this book. This book covered using the Watcom C/C++ compiler, the Zinc Application Framework, X-32VM with FlashGraphics, CodeBase, Greenleaf Database, Btrv++, ODBC, POET and Greenleaf CommLib. Various programs were written under DOS, 32-bit DOS, Windows 3.x and OS/2 Warp showing how to interface the products.

Much of the code is once again relevant given the emergence of OpenWatcom, the return to the marketplace of Greenleaf Software, and new owners for the Zinc Application Framework. The C++ cross platform GUI market has gotten renewed interest. Once these copies are gone no more will be available. This is a very limited number of books pulled from a storage unit.
