No, but the techies were! There was (sigh of nostalgia) training!
<ad> And here's an opportunity to bring back training on a do-it-yourself basis: The Trainer's Friend, Inc. is having a going out of business sale of their training materials. PDF files containing instructor lecture version, student handout version (containing virtualy all of the lecture notes), instructort notes and, for courses with labs (all but three courses), files containing test data, starter programs, sample solutions. At 90% off our list price. If you have employees who can teach, you can run these powerful, rich, courses internally for a fraction of the cost of bringing in outside instructors: maybe this can make training economically feasible in your company. These materials can also be used for self study (best if each student has a mentor). Content is current as of z/OS 1.13, DB2 V10, COBOL V4.2, etc. including: * Introduction to application programming * ISPF / Dialog Manager / TSO / REXX / CLIST * JCL, some utilities, lots of DFSORT * Assembler language * COBOL * PL/I * C * VSAM * DB2 * Debug Tool * Language Environment / binder / DLLs * z/OS UNIX, including + scripting + hosting a website (without WebSphere) + HTML 5, CSS, JavaScript, DOM + CGIs written in COBOL and Assembler The sale ends on December 30, 2013 (wanted to give corporations and government organizations lots of lead time for requisitions, paperwork, etc.). On January 1, 2014 we are closing our doors. Now is a good time to visit http://www.trainersfriend.com/ which links you to http://www.trainersfriend.com/SpecialSale/ with tons of details, special deals, etc. </ad> Kind regards, -Steve Comstock, founder The Trainer's Friend, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
