Abstract :
Goal and Result: The author states that the aim of this book is "1) to present an introduction to computers and programming using the System/370 as the primary vehicle; and 2) to present an introduction o the System/370 for people experienced in computer science. I have found that this book contains a lot of useful information and, in fact, I can say that I learned quite a bit from the book. However, this does not mean that the author has met his goals. As for the beginner, hewould not come out with a thorough understanding of S/370 or computers in general because so little space was devoted to his initiation. The intermediate or advanced computer scientist would learn much about S/370 but I am afraid he would be left with many questions about the beast, just as I was.
