This course sets the stage for
the student to integrate the later course material into
a framework of broader awareness of what OpenVMS has been,
is, and will become. The three machine architectures—VAX,
Alpha, and Itanium systems—also trace the development
of OpenVMS from VAX VMS to the impending port of OpenVMS
to the Itanium platform.
Though the OpenVMS operating system has evolved to meet new
challenges, stability through change has been a hallmark
that makes what you learn about OpenVMS today useful tomorrow.
This course briefly introduces important concepts that recur
throughout the course: ideas that, indeed, will persist through
all of your work with OpenVMS.
