Excellent Y2K Technical Overview, December 11, 1999
This review is from: Year 2000 in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly)) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent technical treatment of the Y2K problem. It has none of the hand-wringing or dire prognostications of other books on the topic. Instead, it sticks to the facts - technical, historical, and managerial - that help both explain the problem, and what can be done to prevent and/or alleviate it. The technical discussion includes date handling in general, but much of the code is COBOL-oriented. The book also includes an excellent summary of the COBOL language syntax, and a summary of date handling functions in a variety of languages - COBOL, VB, C, PL/1, etc.
