Very good course for starting with COBOL or remove the dust and remind just is my case. Videos long enough. Quizzes agree with content. Labs could be a little more demanding. Thanks a lot.

The course gives a reasonably good introduction to the COBOL programming language. But it did not actually get learners to write a complete COBOL program. Would that be asking too much?

It would be nice to have direct access to mainframe instead of going to a different site and have to follow all these other instructions.

I would say that this course offers a very nice simple introduction to some basic COBOL. On the negative side, we are presented with basic code and asked to identify problems, without developing our own code, neither from scratch nor full snippets of code. Especially old programming languages have their quirks that would make more practice ideal. Still, overall I would consider this course nevertheless very enjoyable and useful for a simple introduction to the topic. (I'd prefer to give it 4.5 stars, but that is not an option.)

Thought that this was a great course, with well put together material. As someone who was 100% new to COBOL, this felt like it provided a good overview of both using Zowe with Visual Studio Code, and the COBOL language itself. Lectures were short, entertaining, and rich in content, while the labs were rigorous enough to further familiarize with the lecture and quizzes.

This is a great course for building your base foundation in COBOL. The only way to go now is UP!

Great course! The setup is the hardest part and needs work for the instructions to be smooth and polished. (Apparently, the instructions were not "user tested.") The actual programming work is very simple in comparison. Probably needs more coding exercises, but for a start -- it's not bad. Videos: GREAT! Jeff Bisti and his video team do a super job with the videos and I like Jeff's style, his delivery, and his sense of humor. The course instructions need to be AS CLEAR AS Jeff in his videos, and they are WAY not that. Still, the course is inspiring, so -- 5 stars. Way to go, y'all!

I Enjoy the course content, the way that has been delivered and of course Jeff. I found him on a Youtube video talking about Cobol and then found again in IBM Mainframe Friday Coding and I got intrigued once he said that there was training session going on 糖心vlog官网观看 and Immdiately enrolled and I love it!

Quiero expresar que al haber completado COBOL. Me resulto muy interesante y practico para aplicarlo en futuro en una empresa. Gracias Cousera y al profesor a cargo de dictar el cursado.

I really liked the course, for the sequence in approaching the subjects, but mainly for the update of Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, which is quite different from previous versions, notably the "Functions", which is very cool.

Another great course from IBM with Jeff Bisti as the instructor. He did a fantastic job explaining the COBOL concepts and the labs were very engaging as well as informative. I look forward to more mainframe courses!

Muy 煤til el curso para entender los fundamentos del lenguaje. Es una pena que no puedas concluir el curso sin pagar el certificado, cuando los mismo creadores dise帽aron el curso de forma gratuita.

This was a great refresher for my COBOL skills. The only thing I would suggest is a bit more practice writing some code.
