Zowe Explorer and ISPF - come learn more about the dark side at TechXchange 2025

  • 1.  Zowe Explorer and ISPF - come learn more about the dark side at TechXchange 2025

    Posted Mon September 29, 2025 01:15 PM

    Are you new to the mainframe world and wondering what is this thing called ISPF?  Are you an experienced z/OS programmer and wondering what is this thing called Zowe Explorer I keep seeing mentioned?  If either or both questions resonate with you, you are in luck!

    Come join Joe Winchester of IBM and Jim Horne of Lowe's on Wednesday, October 8th at 2PM in S310H, Level 3, OCCC South, as they show how to do tasks in both environments.  New to Z will learn that there may be more this this green screen stuff than they realized.  Experienced ISPF types can learn that the new environment isn't as scary as it seems, and that change can be a good thing! Expect to come away with the understanding that the other side isn't dark and forbidding; it offers new ways to do things that may be easier than the way you know already.  Prepare to have fun as you boldly go where you have never gone before!  Audience participation is not only welcome; we actively encourage it.
