Title: Book needs a major rewrite
Product review: I found this book to be dry and poorly laid out. Examples were often mentioned on one page, but shown on the next. This resulted in having to flip pages back and forth to view code snippets while reading about them. The book is too light on example source code and does not contain any complete programs. The ideas presented by the author are a broad overview. After reading this book, I have no idea about how to really start implementing them.If you are wanting an overview of objects and how they relate to COBOL, read this book. If you are looking for a Step by Step to Sustainable Legacy Systems, then this is not the book for you.In addition the book mentions the author, Robert Levey, is president of Prospect Systems in Nutley, NJ. However, using Google, I could not find a web site (or any information for that matter) for this company.
