Description

SAA has been developed by IBM to address the problems caused by the lack of commonality between the different computing environments that it supports. SAA provides a strategic direction for the use of computing and has the potential to become the standard that defines a universal computing environment. This book provides an introduction to the goals and interfaces that Systems Applications Architecture (SAA) defines. It presents a detailed examination of the Common User Access (CUA) interface that defines the way in which an application developer creates a compliant user interface.
