    We have a global community here and we all come together due to our passion for mainframes. But what exactly bring you to this amazing industry? Who introduces you to mainframe?

    For me, I was first introduced to mainframes through @Jeffrey Bisti's Coursera course on IBM z/OS Mainframe Practitioner. The course have some hands-on lab ​and I'm amazed when I saw the green screen for the first time. It was wonderfully old and classic. His course later brought me to Master the Mainframe and discovering more cool stuff about this industry, like how COBOL and HLASM are still being used everywhere!
