Reviews
Interesting and fun set of courses. A good refresher for someone who used to work in mainframes earlier operating systems, such as MVS.
Very well presented and a good selection of areas to start with. And fun!
Learned quite a bit. Well presented. Though, without access to a mainframe to practice and experiment, this stuff learned will fade away. Would be nice to see a COBOL/Db2 course from IBM
This basic course is for system programmers with no prior SMP experience who plan to use SMP/E for system and subsystem
