Summary: Good book for students and self study
Comment: This book is excellent for students, or for someone like me who had to get into mainframe assembler in a hurry. I was able to read the book in about 4 hours, and doing the examples in the book helped lock the concepts into my mind.

I would like to see a section with more information on the mainframe and additional material on more advanced subjects. Some preparation on the kinds of assembler errors to expect from the mainframe would be nice too.

Summary: pc/370 assembler
Comment: I need to know how comprehensive the pc/370 assembler is. Is it just a subset, or the whole thing, including macros? Is there a way I/you can contact the author?

Rating: 2
Summary: Recommended for absolute beginners. Not for smarter people.
Comment: This book is a fairly good intro to Assembler language on MVS. Programmers who have not got a clue about what Assembler is, will benefit from it. However, you'll outgrow this book in two weeks. Character and number representation is dealt in detail. But important concepts like base register, addressability and macro language are only mentioned here and there without any real treatment. This indeed leaves a big gap in the book. Do buy this book if you are really new in the world of Assembler. Don't buy this book if you are planning to become a systems programmer one day.
