Nowadays, knowing how to use a programming language like COBOL means many positive things for any computer scientist, engineer, Mainframe technician or professional in the sector. The most successful large companies and banks have used it and they continue using it for their businesses and transactions, and every day they are looking for people who can perform this type of work. But... I know what you're thinking. You don't know how this kind of thing works and you think it's very complicated. Well believe me, you still have time to learn, and you are also in the right place!
In this course you will learn to program in COBOL language from scratch, using a software called OpenCobolIDE (free), which of course I will teach you to install and download. But... what is COBOL for? Well, very easy. With this language you will be able to carry out operations oriented mainly to business, that is, to the so-called management informatics. Not in vain 70% of bank transactions in the world are carried out thanks to the COBOL language.
I am an industrial engineer and I have been programming, using mainframes and teaching about their use for years. During this time I have realized that every day the use of a fast, complete and practical language such as COBOL is more necessary, and that is why it is not surprising that today it is still used and it is the leader in large companies and banks.
For this same reason, I felt the need to create good quality content on the subject, and thus facilitate and above all speed up and accelerate the learning process, compressing all the content in approximately 1 hour. You can always learn more, but this course will help you lay the fundamentals of COBOL successfully, easily and quickly.
The important thing about the course is that you will not only watch and listen, but you will also do it yourself. Thanks to the practical nature of the course, you will be able to put into practice everything you learned in the last sessions and you will be able to carry out the concepts shown quickly yourself. And of course, at the end of the course you will have acquired knowledge, among other things, in topics such as the following:
For what, how, and why COBOL?
OpenCobolIDE interface and the entire framework
Identification Division
Environment Division
Data Division
Procedure Division
Analysis of the code and its logic
Complete program step by step, and much more
This course is perfect for people who have heard of COBOL, but don't know how to get started and need to learn to program easily. What I mean is that it is completely suitable for beginners and people who have no idea of the subject, since everything will be explained from scratch. So don't be afraid, because as I have already told you, this is the time to learn a skill that companies seek more and more every day, and if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself by searching the Internet!
As if that were not enough and you are still not convinced, I will be at your disposal and I will answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time. Learning COBOL has never been easier. What are you waiting to join? I really want to be your instructor!
