About the Course

Professor Tak Auyeung of American River College, said it beautifully, “A programming language is not a fashion statement” it is used for a purpose. Whether it is to add new features, modify logic, create APIs to integrate it into other applications, or implement modern development practices, businesses around the world need application developers who know COBOL. This introductory COBOL course helps a novice learn the Structure of COBOL programs, Data types & Variable Handling, Intrinsic Functions, Branching logic and more. The goal of the course is to enable the participant to be able to write basic COBOL programs. This is a fantastic compliment to the IBM z/OS Practitioner path for the IBM Mainframe. Join the COBOL Fridays web series. These webinars are curated for first-time programmers, lifelong learners, and anyone who's interested in learning COBOL. http://ibm.biz/cfcoursera On successful completion of this course, learners are eligible to earn their COBOL Programming with VSCode badge....

Very good course for starting with COBOL or remove the dust and remind just is my case. Videos long enough. Quizzes agree with content. Labs could be a little more demanding. Thanks a lot.

Excellent use of platform and outstanding material for presentation and understanding. I also very much enjoyed the quircky-ness of the presenter and his humour.

Thank you very much!

There are a few issues with Labs not being in the correct spots considering what's covered in the videos/readings, but otherwise a good course. Worth noting that the mainframe is down for maintenance on some Sundays and the Zih_bot does not function properly when the mainframe is down so if you want to start this course, try not to do it on a Sunday.

EL CURSO ES BUENO PARA INTRODUCIR A UN PRINCIPIANTE A CONOCER EL LENGUAJE COBOL PERO NO FUNCIONA PARA INCENTIVAR AL ESTUDIANTE A APRENDER A PROGRAMAR EN COBOL, ES UN CURSO MUY BASICO, REALMENTE CON ESTE CURSO NO APRENDERÁS A PROGRAMAR EN COBOL SI NO A CONOCERLO SUPERFICIALMENTE

It was a great survey of the language and desktop development environment to work with the language. I had hoped for more depth.

I enjoyed the course material, a link to a video set up VS code would have been helpful. I like Jeff Bisti's way of teaching.
