Hi, this is John Quinn and I'm new on this board. I live down in Ottawa,
Illinois.
I'm interested in learning Python so that I can apply it to help in modernizing
mainframe legacy systems. I worked as a PL/1 Applications Programmer at State
Farm Systems for 13 years using IMS Databases and of course JCL on the IBM MVS
Operating System. Then I worked with the same skills at Nielsen Media Research
in Florida for a few years. I have nothing technical to add to these
discussions yet, but hope to in the future. I am retired and in great health
and hoping I can do contract work once I become proficient in Python and the
current various developer tools for editing and testing platforms.
Looking forward to learning Python and it's associated tools.
John Quinn
