ABIS Infor - 2011-11
This newsletter (2011-11) contains the following topics:
- Object-Oriented Perl - Peter Vanroose (ABIS)

- Oracle and Objects - Sandy Schillebeeckx (ABIS)

- Hibernate and JPA2 - Gie Indesteege (ABIS)

- ABIS and vICTory-be: no-nonsense! - Kris Van Thillo (ABIS)
ABIS interviews Eddy Vos, vICTory-be - they discuss common core-business values, z/OS knowledge requirements, and the Mainframe Academy. Read the article.
