Description
IBM I/O Architecture and Virtual Storage Concepts is the "teacher-Independent" way to master better programming habits, techniques and strategies. This book will teach you enough about the architecture and virtual storage capabilities of large-scale IBM processors (and their compatibles) to use the Input/Output resources of those systems. Designed to let you learn at your own pace, the book contains objectives, examples, explanations, written exercises and solutions including sample input and output. The book consists of a number of sections that are divided into chapters. The chapters are further divided into lessons. Each lesson begins with an introduction, a statement of the objectives of the lesson and a rationale for the lesson. After the introductory information are several pages that present the technical content of the lesson. At the end of each lesson are review questions.
