Negative Positive
Title: Seriously dated
Review: This book won't really help on a current (2005) developer's tech interview. Here's the reason: from the partial contents on the rear cover --* The 3 most marketable IBM mainframe DB/DC skills: IMS, CICS, and DB2/SQL* The most frequently asked technical questions on COBOL, VSAM, JCL, ...I can't say much about the sections of the book which relate to management etc, and I haven't skimmed the model resumes, either. However, there are other books (at lower prices) which would cover these. Oh, and the cover price of the book is $23.95. While it may be worth more due to its rarity, it certainly isn't worth the going rate of $30 for its technical content.
Is the review positive or negative?
