Professor Tak Auyeung of American River College, said it beautifully, “A programming language is not a fashion statement” it is used for a purpose. Whether it is to add new features, modify logic, create APIs to integrate it into other applications, or implement modern development practices, businesses around the world need application developers who know COBOL.

TOP REVIEWS FROM COBOL PROGRAMMING WITH VSCODE
by JRSep 24, 2020
Very good course for starting with COBOL or remove the dust and remind just is my case. Videos long enough. Quizzes agree with content. Labs could be a little more demanding. Thanks a lot.

The course gives a reasonably good introduction to the COBOL programming language. But it did not actually get learners to write a complete COBOL program. Would that be asking too much?

Very easy to follow. Very informative.\n\nGreat tools.\n\nJeff Bisti is my personal favorite instructor in Coursera.

Very interesting course with both theory & practice. It is a good starting point to get your hand dirty with COBOL.
