I’m newbie when it comes to COBOL, but the migration from these old programmers and systems intrigue me. What should someone like me be thinking about/ researching / doing to be prepared for the next ten years?
Glad you stopped by. What is most amazing is the number of COBOL systems still in production today. So for ‘newbies’ the two most important things are: #1 awareness and #2 desire. You seem to have both.
There’s a recording of a Lunch and Learn we did with Doug Evans on the GDT COBOL Portfolio Analysis tool that you can start with. I can also work with you to set up a panel of our senior COBOL team and make that available to ‘newbies’ who are interested. I have a feeling that many would find it fascinating.
