One of the best VMS programming books I've ever come across is "Writing 
VAX/VMS Applications Using Pascal" by Theo de Klerk published in 1991 (BTW, 
my copy is not for sale :-). I learned quite a bit of VMS application theory 
in this book and implemented many of the ideas into BASIC, C  and C++. The 
reason I mention this book is that I just received my copy of "The Minimum 
You Need to Know to be an OpenVMS Developer" and it is clearly in the same 
league as the Pascal book. This is a major effort and should be on the 
bookshelf of every beginner through intermediate level OpenVMS application 
developer.

Just my 2-cents worth.
