Proven in the market for over 30 years with many of the world's leading businesses,  CICS enables today's customers to modernize and extend their applications to  take advantage of the opportunities provided by e-business while maximizing the benefits of their existing investments.\u003ci\u003eDesigning and Programming CICS Applications\u003c\/i\u003e will benefit  a diverse audience.  It introduces new users of IBM's mainframe (OS\/390) to CICS features.  It shows experienced users how to integrate existing mainframe systems with  newer technologies, including the Web, CORBA, Java, CICS clients, and Visual  Basic; as well as how to link MQSeries and CICS.Each part of \u003ci\u003eDesigning and Programming CICS Applications\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the  design requirements for specific components and gives a step-by-step approach  to developing a simple application. 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.\u003ci\u003eDesigning and Programming CICS Applications\u003c\/i\u003e shows how to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop and modify existing COBOL applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecome familiar with the CICS Java environment and write a simple Java  wrapper for a COBOL application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop a web front end using servlets, JSP and JavaBeans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLink the web front end to an existing COBOL application using CORBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite a Visual Basic application to develop a customer GUI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLink an existing COBOL application using a CICS Client ECI call\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop a Java application using Swing as an MQSeries Client\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the MQSeries-CICS bridge to access an existing COBOL application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWhether for working with thousands of terminals or for a client\/server  environment with  workstations and LANs exploiting modern technology such as graphical  interfaces or multimedia, \u003ci\u003eDesigning and Programming CICS Applications\u003c\/i\u003e  delivers the power to create, modernize and extend CICS applications.","brand":"O'Reilly Media, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134789009648,"sku":"9781449313036","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781449313036_p0.jpg?v=1763831412","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781449313036","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
