TPDP E38: COBOL Development on the Mainframe

If you’re interested in learning about COBOL, you’ll find a lot of value in, COBOL Development on the Mainframe, the latest episode of The Polyglot Developer Podcast.

There’s been a lot of buzz around COBOL in recent news, which is amazing considering how far the programming technology dates back. In this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Elizabeth Joseph from IBM, and we discuss the things that COBOL does well, where it’s used the most, and why it’s making such a huge comeback.

You don’t have to be a system admin, mainframe developer, or COBOL expert to get a lot of value out of this episode.
