Course Description

Are you looking to learn COBOL programming from scratch or to improve your existing skills? Look no further than the COBOL Complete Reference Course – the most comprehensive and up-to-date COBOL programming course on the market.

Welcome to our comprehensive COBOL Complete Reference Course! Whether you're a beginner looking to learn a new programming language or an experienced developer seeking to enhance your skills, this course has something for everyone interested in COBOL.

COBOL, or Common Business-Oriented Language, is a powerful and widely-used programming language that has been the backbone of many business applications and legacy systems for decades. In this course, you will gain a solid understanding of COBOL, its history, evolution, and basics.

The course begins with an overview of COBOL, including its origins, history, and relevance in modern business applications. You will learn about the syntax and structure of COBOL programs, including COBOL data types, variables, constants, and basic program structure, and COBOL web services formats such as XML and JSON. Through practical examples and code snippets, you will gain hands-on experience in writing COBOL programs.

Additionally, the course explores advanced topics such as file handling and data manipulation in COBOL, including reading and writing sequential and random files, file organization, and file handling techniques. You will also learn about integrating COBOL programs with databases such as DB2, or IMS, and working with SQL and embedded SQL in COBOL programs.

The course also covers other advanced COBOL concepts such as subprograms, complex data structures, error handling, debugging, performance tuning, and best practices in COBOL programming. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of COBOL development, including legacy system modernization, and how COBOL integrates with modern technologies and platforms.

As part of the course, you will also learn about COBOL compilers and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) commonly used in COBOL development. Upon completion of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to develop COBOL programs for various business applications, legacy systems, and modernization initiatives.

Whether you are a student, a professional, or an aspiring COBOL developer, this course provides a comprehensive reference for mastering COBOL and excelling in the competitive COBOL job market.
