  • 1.  Will Jonathan's COBOL course videos be available?

    Posted Tue February 09, 2021 05:03 PM
    Hi,

    I have missed the first sessions of the COBOL course that is currently running and I would like to know if those videos will be available later on?

    I am probably unable to participate in live sessions, but would very much like to take a look at the videos at my own pace. All of the material has been very helpful up to this point.

    Thanks,

    -T

    Are you talking about the Enterprise COBOL Course which was taught last summer or the on-going IDz Entry-Level Training course?

    Regardless, everything should be in the IBM Z DevOps Village Library.

    For the COBOL Course, it's from page 6 and down, or you can find the direct links to the videos on my GitHub repo.

    For the IDz Entry-Level Training, check this section for direct links. It's under Course Materials - Recordings and Enablement PDFs for Eclipse and ISPF Editing.

    Hi,

    yes I'm talking about the IDz that is going on right now. Since it's a course with some sort of sequential ordering of the information that is given, I thought that the material would be organized in some way, like the COBOL course links are titled "Module (number)...".

    Your link was informative. There were links to Youtube, but they did not work. I get a "Video unavailable" error. The ones that are on this platform do work.

    Cheers,

    Hi Teppo,

    Thanks for reaching out about the ADFz/RDz/IDz Foundations course. They are currently on module 3. You may follow along with the schedule on this link to see the topics that will be covered in each module, and then use the Resources page with links to all learning content to find the content related to the topic.  This training will complete by the end of Q1, and a new training session will begin from the very start of the course at the beginning of Q2. You are welcome to follow along with the rest of the current session, or wait until the beginning of Q2 to follow along from the start.

    Thanks!

    Hi Gitanjalee,

    I think for now there are no plans to hold the course again. However, recordings and materials of the course are available online.

    Additionally, IBM is offering another COBOL Course in collaboration with the Open Mainframe Project. You can access the course over at their GitHub, or there is also a video course over on the IBM Digital Learning Platform for free: https://learn.ibm.com/course/view.php?id=7552

    Hello Gitanjalee, and anyone else in the community who may be interested. 

    If you are interested in Cobol courses, and introduction to the Mainframe, in the IBM training portal, in this url, you can find both courses of initiation in Mainframe "Introduction to IBM z/OS" and courses of initiation to COBOL, not only in IDz "IBM Developer for z/OS(IDz) Basics" but also in VSCode "COBOL Programming with VSCode".

    They are highly recommended. Especially, for this zDevOps community, those related to the technology stack used in modernization projects, or already modernized installations. All those that hang from the section "Application Modernization with IBM Z". These are a delight!
