I learned Cobol in college in 1969. Writing Cobol then, there was a Source computer statement, and a Object computer statement, that were necessary to compile your program. I believe they were in the environment division. I am very excited to join the Open Source project, to update my skills, and learn new technologies, along with earning All of Badges that IBM, has, Then posting my resume on LinkedIn. Thank you for your time.
Super stoked to be learning COBOL, I have been hunting for a course to learn this language for a LONG time - I really want to learn this and start working to maintain & upgrade in COBOL. Thank you!!
Will IBM learn from Red Hat (their acquisition)? Allow developers and hobbyists to run an IBM OS and other software on Hercules. IBM lost the mind-share competition so long ago with their closed everything policies -- including OCO over thirty years ago.
Hi, can anyone tell me where to register for this COBOL course. I have installed all the software but can't access the mainframe because I don't have the passwords that come with the registration email.
@40:04: I'm pulling my hair out listening to this guy. While it's true that COBOL is not easy to write, how can you claim that it is easy to read? The COBOL code I've tried to read has made me wish for a chemical burn eye wash station.
I think you need gray hair for COBOL to make sense. I never programmed in COBOL- the only language I ever programmed in was BASIC but I see similarities. It certainly is not a sexy language.
@25:08 "COBOL is a very rich programming language. That means there are a lot of ways to express statements." This presenter could be a politician. This is a blatant attempt to try to sell the horrendous redundancies and complexities built into the COBOL language as a feature, not a bug.

@32:30 Why do you say that COBOL has no pointers, when you can manipulate ADDRESS OF in variables?

Thank you!
Very deep introduction! Thank you Professor!

Practical ?

It's hilarious that the presenter claims that COBOL is readable for auditors, when it's not even readable by programmers.
