Please forgive my ignorance. I taught myself C/C++/python/etc. enough to get paid well to do it. There is of course a ton of easily accessible examples and documents for these languages. Does the same apply to FORTRAN/COBOL? Are there emulators to use to teach yourself? If you were to do this where would you start?
- dmitriid 8y agoI’ve now seen bootcamps that previously taught python/go/java set up courses for COBOL. E.g. this free (!) intensive course in Sweden: https://www.academy.se/artiklar/tieto-och-academy-startar-kostnadsfri-intensivutbildning-for-de-som-vill-sadla-om-till-programmerare https://www.academy.se/artiklar/tieto-och-academy-startar-ko... My hunch that consulting jobs that require COBOL are primarily looking for experience (especially with finance systems) than for 40 years experience specifically with COBOL.
