5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for Y2K Practitioners, August 15, 1997
This review is from: Year 2000 Software Crisis: Solutions for IBM Legacy Systems (Software Engineering Series) (Paperback)
This book arms one with both the methodology and
the tools needed for completing a Y2K
project successfully. The comprehensive reviews
of the leading tools is a big plus. Also,
the features you should look for in a particular
tool category are documented, making tool
selection easy. I found the cost estimation
models particularly useful. In short a must-buy
for Y2Kers !
