TOP REVIEWS FROM BASIC SYSTEM PROGRAMMING ON IBM Z
Loved the effort, but it would the Skytap environment ran sluggishly. I wish you could let us use the TN3270 emulator by giving up your Host IP to the participants. Life would be much easier.
Good for beginner. For DB2 it would be great if a 15-20 minute video is made. Also for IMS DB/DC if there can be some video with practical then it would be very much helpful.
Interesting and fun set of courses. A good refresher for someone who used to work in mainframes earlier operating systems, such as MVS.
All courses are great.! Thanks! Jeff for explaining it nicely.
