POPULATION COUNTING | by Jim Keohane
It's "Software Algorithm Appreciation Week" at Search390 and Jim
Keohane's paying homage to toolbox coders out there. You may be
surprised to see what purpose some seemingly worthless algorithms are
put. You might also wonder if some meager coding you did many moons
ago has turned up in some form in an open source project. If so, be
happy! If not, why not?

FREE DOWNLOAD | Chapter 9 of "Murach's OS/390 and z/OS JCL"
Here is another free chapter download from Search390 and publishers
Murach and Associates. If you're working on an IBM mainframe as a
programmer or operator, sooner or later you'll have to know JCL. And
although you can get by with minimal JCL skills, the best programmers
and operators develop a solid set of JCL skills because it helps them
get more done in less time. "Murach's OS/390 and z/OS JCL" is a new
book designed to give you that set of skills. By the end of it,
you'll have a rich view of what OS/390 and z/OS can do, and you'll
know how to take advantage of those capabilities in your own jobs. To
see how this book works, download this free chapter--chapter 9, "How
to Use JCL Procedures."

THE MISSING LINK | "Self-googling": Admit it, you do it!
Dropped your own name into Google lately? Everybody has "googled"
himself or herself at least once (admit it!). But keep in mind, ego
tripping through cyberspace can find the skeletons in your closet --
and out them.
