OpenVMS Applications Are Focus Of Latest Minimum You Need to Know Book



For anyone who wants to know more about the VMS platform, you must read the latest in Roland Hughes's series: "The Minimum You Need to Know (About Service Oriented Architecture)" (ISBN 9780977086665, Logikal Solutions, 2008).



The computer world is in a serious situation where programmers are relying upon web-based applications that could ultimately cause security crises. Future programmers can find themselves a step ahead in facing this situation by reading Roland Hughes's "The Minimum You Need to Know" series. With the newly published fourth book, "About Service Oriented Architecture," the beginning programmer will find his eyes opened to the potential future of the computer industry. Hughes encourages future programmers to look beyond industry web-based standards to provide productive and secure systems.



This fourth book in the "Minimum You Need to Know" series focuses primarily on porting FMS based business applications to Intranet and Internet applications using ACMS. The 370-page volume provides many clearly defined examples and many diagrams, flow charts, and even a source code CD. "About Service Oriented Architecture" builds on the previous books and continues to explore OpenVMS possibilities.



Hughes shows that many so called "new" technologies are not new or even practical. He derides the thought that everything must be web-based rather than part of a company's intranet. He deplores both the failure of university programs to teach programmers basic logic and the industry's current support for substandard applications. Hughes explains why OpenVMS is already 20 years ahead of other programs and will survive long after Windows is forgotten.



Readers will find their eyes opened to the possibilities of existing systems. They will be awakened to the dark reality they face in exposing systems to the Web. According to Hughes, passing "industry standard" XML from the Web all the way through to an application accessing a company's databases is just asking to be hacked. Hughes offers alternative solutions to benefit the future of programming. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of computer applications.
