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.

[cesarcardenas]

i have seen videos with millions of views on cobol, but this one is by far the most informative! much appreciated

[geomatnor]

Miss Peggy - Outstanding presentation! So far the Best! I would pay for this.

[julianmiglio]

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!

[abdulrahmanmusamohammed]

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.

[ssmith]

I am only part way through this, but it is by far the best I have seen! Looking forward to hopefully more from you!

[LGR_FGC]

Your video was very helpful! 🙏

One of the best resources online I've found so far, regarding cobol.

[eaglebeast]

Great vid!!! I Wish you can do the same for PL/I programming.

[cbbcbb]

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.

[ruslihasan]

if any possibility to share the code accompany the tutoril video. Appreciate it. Good job

[anzzz]

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 🙂)

[asfour]

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.

[hallkbrdz]

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.

[IMO.Pk.Zaheer]

Dear any current version in market could be found for tutorial, further inform that it is MS Cobol or RM Cobol

[UnderstandingCode]

Would be awesome with the code included to download

[WendyHuNanNZ]

I can understand this lady's video a bit more lol compare to another one ; )

[justincolwell-ongenae]

@ 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?

[davidthompson]

When I go to direct exercise link, i am prompted to input a decryption key?

[davidthompson]

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