This is a very good tutorial, I like the way the topics are explained, and English is clear even for me being Italian. I hope you will post more videos about COBOL. Thank you very much!
Buongiorno, volevo chiederti semplicemente, la tua opinione sul mercato Europeo per quanto riguarda programmatori in Cobol. So che negli States è ancora molto usato soprattutto negli ATM, Credit Card etc.. ma mi sembra che in Europa o in EU nn tanto. Come la vedi tu?
Hello, What if we decide to use a Mac for these operations you’ve specified regarding installation, how would one go about it please? Great video and looking forward to your response at your earliest convenience, thank you.
Very good tutorial. Thanks for using Linux. There is a software called Hercules that allows emulating IBM mainframe hardware on persinal computers. I'm not sure what can be done with it.
The Hercules that I worked with had: - a very ancient version of Cobol compiler of around 1972, so forget about the modern statements which came with Cobol II in the 90-ties - lacked a few tools. No SDSF (I used a weird option 3.8 instead). No CICS, DB2, IMS. Huge problems with VSAM. - home-made/bodged ISPF
Thanks, considering this as I see many lucrative COBOL jobs, still. I thought they would end not long after Y2K. Having a full-screen context sensitive editor sure makes it easier than when I took COBOL on a Prime mini with a line editor. That was ok for C, but horrible with this wordy language.
As a retired COBOL programmer of 45 years, let me give THE most important piece of engineering advice... write your code in such a way that a programmer five years down the road, when looking at your code, will be able to understand what you were attempting to do five years ago.
Very good tutorial, possibly the best that I have found yet. Mainframe development would most likely also include coolgen and JCL, do you plan on making any videos on those too?(Please do 🙂)
Your course is very interesting because it is open cobol however how to connect to a database in order to write sql queries inside the cobol source. Thanks in advance.
@ miss google Is there anywhere to get the power point presentation? I am learning COBOL basics to hopefully help me get my foot in the door, and your video has been the best and easiest to follow along and work with, I was just wondering if there was a quicker way to get the presentation notes instead of trying to screen shot them all! Thanks, and please please please keep up the awesome tutorials!
I have used Cobol 68 since 1973 on both IBM/NCR/Hitachi/Univac Mainframe and NCR. Since 2002 i move to a move client/server arhitecture. I loved your course but would I like see one using Cobol for the Web. At moment it such a hassle to use Visual Cobol with painful tie created by Micro Focus and IBM. IT would nice if there something similar to frameworks like Vuejs. Then we could just used Visual Studio out of the box and develop app which could later run on the servers (like a windows server). Sorry for the lengthy story before my request. Is there any such Cobol versions?
Do I need to spin up a windows in virt-manager just to install wsl, just to install Linux, just to install gnuCobal? This all feels like a crazy circle. Linux -> windows -> wsl -> Linux all that just to try and keep get windows in the mix? If windows is on your computer you have probably already made a mistake somewhere. Want to try Cobol sure just install windows to install Linux to install cobol and now my head hurts.
@LongWaster Yeah, this was sarcasm as I just stated the steps she went through to show how absolutely silly they were. @ProgrammingRainbow has a COBOL series for SDL2.
She's using WSL because her host OS is Windows, so her toolchain is Windows -> WSL -> Debian. Of course, if your host OS is Linux, you know how to skip the steps involving Windows and WSL, and just run GnuCOBOL and VS Code on Linux directly
i have seen videos with millions of views on cobol, but this one is by far the most informative! much appreciated
Glad you like it 😊❤️
Miss Peggy - Outstanding presentation! So far the Best! I would pay for this.
Wow, thank you! 😊

Thanks, It is in detail explanation.
Glad you like it 😊❤️
Great vid!!! I Wish you can do the same for PL/I programming.
I am only part way through this, but it is by far the best I have seen! Looking forward to hopefully more from you!
glad you like it 😊❤️
Is she related to you
Nobody like it
Your video was very helpful! 🙏
One of the best resources online I've found so far, regarding cobol.
Glad it was helpful!😊♥️

@@missgoogle_07 TQ : ) I never know bank use Cobol as its programming language, never thought about it...have a lovely weekend. I'm from New Zealand.
if any possibility to share the code accompany the tutoril video. Appreciate it. Good job
Noted and Thanks😊

I can understand this lady's video a bit more lol compare to another one ; )
Dear any current version in market could be found for tutorial, further inform that it is MS Cobol or RM Cobol
Very good tutorial, possibly the best that I have found yet. Mainframe development would most likely also include coolgen and JCL, do you plan on making any videos on those too?(Please do 🙂)
Great suggestion!😊
Your course is very interesting because it is open cobol however how to connect to a database in order to write sql queries inside the cobol source. Thanks in advance.
Will upload soon😊
Would be awesome with the code included to download
Noted and Thanks..!

Can anyone get an exercise folder to follow along? If so how. Thanks

GnuCOBOL and VSCODIUM and the Cobol extensions for VS work well. GnuCOBOL is free and opensource on source forge
Hi, how do I clear the screen in this version of COBOL?
When I go to direct exercise link, i am prompted to input a decryption key?
HI im having issues when i run the code, i have no terminal and code wont run i get "Code language not supported or defined."
At 40:46 you didn't save before compiling :(
I got error in pic $$9 saying $ is invalid character, any idea why?
Do I need to spin up a windows in virt-manager just to install wsl, just to install Linux, just to install gnuCobal? This all feels like a crazy circle.

Want to try Cobol sure just install windows to install Linux to install cobol and now my head hurts.
If you thought this was what you were supposed to do, please do not start programming.

Wow she speaks so fast it is hard to keep up... slow down lady
