More than 100,000 programmers have learned CICS from Doug Lowe's two-part series. As one trainer wrote about Doug, "His writing is concise, understanding of the less experienced reader without being condescending, and above all, it is written in clear, familiar terms that don't require constant translation of acronyms and programming terms. In this field of technical jargon, Doug Lowe is indeed a refreshing experience".
