IBM z/OS via IBM Z Xplore learning platform

I’ve spent the last week taking IBM Z Xplore fundamental courses:

https://www.ibm.com/it-infrastructure/z/education/zxplore

 

So farI finished 5 of 7 exercises including review of JCL, file types, COBOL, Unix, and Python.  I encourage everyone to sign up and take the course.  On Windows, you can install Java 11+, Visual Studio Code, and zowe extension in order to access the class work files and submit jobs on the IBM Z Xplore z/OS mainframe to complete each class.  There are also forums where you can  ask questions and learn from others.  This is a free IBM educational service available 24/7 serving over 3,500 schools in 130 countries around the world.

Yes, I signed up again because they offer some new stuff, such as DB2 which they didn't a few years ago, On Linux, this time around, I switched from VSCode to VSCodium which seems to work so far with openjdk-8 that I installed for z390.

Bill, all

 

Glad to hear you are using IBM Z Xplore.  I think it’s a great way to keep up with IBM technology.  I’m anxiously awaiting the publication of the new z16 pop.
