Techno shock

I used AIX in the mid-’90s. I got good at installations, SNA services, peripherals, and applications. Then I switched to HP/UX and moved from versions 9 to 10 to 11; so I am familiar with those systems. Then, back to AIX as part of an international support team. Well, it is a shocker, but once again, the AIX technology and its thrust into Linux and more web-based applications, not to mention hardware technology, has once again leapfrogged past functioning in the AIX field at the time of the writing of this review. The book itself is appropriately designed to bring you up to snuff as of its printing. The main thing about this book is that it assumes that you already know UNIX systems administration and some of the older versions of AIX, as the commands and locations are shown without any explanation. The differences, however, are described in detail. Still, the one advantage of SMIT and WebSM is that they are a good starting point, and with a little tweaking, you can bypass them next time with greater precision. Regardless of where you are on the AIX food chain, this book is more than just a helpful reference for your library. Of course, this is ancient history, but a good background for those who have not lived it. At the time of this review, we are now at IBM AIX 7.3.3
