Did you ever wonder what this Mainframe thing is?
What is it, that people are always talking about?
Is anyone still really using this technology in 2020? Is COBOL (or COBALT as some Governors called it during the pandemic) really a problem, and if so why?

In this talk we will answer these and many other questions. Tobias Leicher will explain what Mainframe Technology is, why it is not outdated and, still processes most of the world's transactional data.

We will also look at why everyone should know a thing or two about the mainframe, even if they aren't using it directly, and why one can earn very good money with the modernisation of existing legacy applications, if it is done right. Free IBM Cloud Account: https://ibm.biz/Bdq9BK (no credit card required)
