For the February meetup of the Jersey City JUG, Dave Nicolette presented Java on the Mainframe.
Most of us have written Java code. Some of us have written code that integrates with mainframes. Few of us have programmed mainframes. Dave, an experienced programmer and agile coach, has. He gave us a basic understanding of the platform, what’s similar and what’s different from environments we’re familiar with, and some examples of what mainframe code looks like — plus a view into Cobol Check, an open-source testing framework he’s developing for Cobol applications. Watch the session.
