About 20 years ago, I dabbled here and there with VTAM, NCP, EP, NCCF,
NLDM, et al. My boss would like me to pick up current TCP/IP skills.
Knowing this august group does not lack in providing excellent advice, I
am seeking recommendations on the best course of action.
If one or two courses to take, which ones?
Which manuals/redbooks to read first?
Bob,
If your starting from scratch with TCP/IP - not just z/OS but IP in general - then before you get
into the delights of z/OS stuff, probably the best book you can read is Stevens TCP/IP Volume 1: the
Protocols. Although IP has moved on a little since this book (IPV6 etc), it still explains all the
fundamentals.. its never far from my desk!
http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Illustrated-Protocols-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0201633469
his homepage is here with source code to examples/errata etc
