Courses we teach: Working the Web

We offer a variety of courses that train you how to ...

• Develop applications using the mainframe as Web host
• Extend existing applications on the mainframe to the Intranet / Internet / Web
• Develop applications that access the data on your mainframe
• Develop applications that run on the client side of the Web

The most relevant technologies are:

• UNIX System Services - to use the mainframe as server
• HTML / XHTML - describing Web pages
• CGIs - programs that run on the z/OS server at the request of a client
• DB2 for z/OS - as data store

Some areas that might surprise you

• COBOL - can inter-operate with Java so you can mine existing applications; supports XML document processing and creation; supports Unicode; can be used to code CGIs
• PL/I - can inter-operate with Java so you can mine existing applications; supports XML document processing and creation; supports Unicode; can be used to code CGIs
• Inter-Language Communication - mainframe COBOL, PL/I, C, C++, even Assembler, can access DLLs and be used to create DLLs for greater inter-operability (this is all tied to the Language Environment product)
