Are You Ready to Meet the Demand for Object COBOL Programming? Now you can keep up-to-date with the newest standards in COBOL. With its use of straightforward language and real-world examples, An Introduction To Object COBOL is a concise and accessible introduction to using Object COBOL. You'll discover how object technology is applied and how the resulting Object COBOL code is constructed. All of the programs included in the text can be downloaded from the Wiley web site (www.wiley.com/college/). You are encouraged to execute and experiment with them. As you work with these programs and follow the related case study, you will gain important experience in using Object COBOL in a business environment. Inside these pages you will:* Keep up-to-date with the state-of-the-art in COBOL programming.* Understand the relationship of object technology to the business environment.* See how object technology is applied to real-life examples.* Receive a non-technical introduction to object technology without the use of intensive vocabulary.

In the fast moving world of information technology, Java is now the number 1 programming language. Programmers and developers everywhere need to know Java to keep pace with traditional and web-based application development. COBOL Programmers Swing with Java provides COBOL programmers a clear, easy transition to Java programming by drawing on the numerous similarities between COBOL and Java. The authors introduce the COBOL programmer to the history of Java and object-oriented programming and then dive into the details of the Java syntax, always contrasting them with their parallels in COBOL. A running case study gives the reader an overall view of application development with Java, with increased functionality as new material is presented. This new edition features the development of graphical user interfaces (GUI's) using the latest in Java Swing components. The clear writing style and excellent examples make the book suitable for anyone wanting to learn Java and OO programming, whether they have a background in COBOL or not.

For the last two decades, IS researchers have conducted empirical studies leading to a better understanding of the impact of Systems Analysis and Design methods in business, managerial, and cultural contexts. SA&D research has established a balanced focus not only on technical issues, but also on organizational and social issues in the information society..This volume presents the very latest, state-of-the-art research by well-known figures in the field. The chapters are grouped into three categories: techniques, methodologies, and approaches.
