In this episode I'm joined by Elizabeth Joseph from IBM, and we discuss COBOL.
I know what you're thinking. Why are we resurrecting a dinosaur of a programming technology for this podcast episode? While the programming language is one of the oldest, it is still very relevant when it comes to modern development, more particularly mainframe development.
While the focus point of this episode is around COBOL, Elizabeth and I spend a lot more time discussing mainframe development and where it fits in a world where JavaScript, Python, and similar technologies are dominating.
