minus-squaret3rmit3@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-21 month agoThere’s a lot more COBOL folks out there than people realize. It also is still being taught in some universities. UNT has an entire mainframe-focused course track: BCIS 3620 - Mainframe Concepts BCIS 5550 - Advanced Enterprise Systems Programming BCIS 5540 - Enterprise Systems Programming Texas A&M has at least one COBOL class as well: https://catalog.tamusa.edu/search/?P=CISA+2354 I haven’t checked other unis, but I suspect there are plenty more. That’s not to say these clowns know anything about it though, or they wouldn’t have been working for Must in the first place.
