AMA's new COBOL ILE training curriculum is designed to "develop COBOL competency for progammers new to iSeries" according to Paul Lambert, AMA's President, "and is a a reflection of AMA's committment to the iSeries community." Until now, there have been no insructor-led, classroom-based training courses with practical, hands-on labs to bring programmers new to the iSeries up to an acceptable level of proficiency with COBOL ILE. Previous to the introduction of AMA's iSeries COBOL ILE curriculum, company's who wanted to train programmers that were new to COBOL on the iSeries were limited to either attending older COBOL 400 courses, or using a variety of of self-study materials. As individuals in the programming and training fields understand, the most desirable way to learn a complex programming language rapidly, and to an acceptable level of professional proficiency, is by attending an instructor-led course. While AMA reconizes the benefit of self-study to gain additional familiarity with COBOL ILE prior to attending a formal course, and even provides recommendations of self-study materials that we feel would benefit an individual, we agree with the programming community that our approach of providing knowledgeable, professional instructors with solid experience in COBOL ILE will provide the most cost-effective means to learn this version of COBOL. AMA's COBOL ILE curriculum is comprises four integrated courses. Three primary courses will take an individual who is new to COBOL ILE from understanding the fundamentals of COBOL ILE on the iSeries to employing advanced concepts that are necessary in today's web-centric programming environment. Additionaly, there is a fourth 'precursor' course that is designed to provide individuals who are new to COBOL and batch processing concepts with an appreciation of COBOL's strength and utilization as the world's leading batch processing langauge for business. To read more about our new COBOL ILE curriculum, click on the link below for the class that you are interested and the specific topics covered: » C101 - Introduction to COBOL ILE and Batch Processing   (In design) » C102 - Programming Fundamentals Workshop Using WDSC   (Available) » C103 - Intermediate Programming Workshop Using WDSC   (Beta) » C104 - Advanced Programming Workshop Using WDSCC   (Beta)   End-User / IT Organizations If you are an end-user / IT organization that would like to discuss how Agidigm and Advaced MidRange Applications (AMA) can provide you with a complete instructor-led, on-site COBOL ILE curriculum, we look forward to hearing from you.  With AMA's certified IBM instructor's, we can help you design a complete training roadmap that will ensure that your personnel receive the right training to perform at their best while using the latest version of COBOL ILE and its related development tools for the iSeries.  If you have a preferred IBM authorized training provider, we will be happy to work with them for the delivery of any IBM-specific courses your staff may need, per the requisites identified by AMA.  For the AMA-specific COBOL ILE classes, we will be happy to work with you directly to understand and satisfy your training needs. IBM Training Providers If you are an authorized IBM training provider, and would like to add AMA's COBOL ILE curriculum to your existing portfolio of classes, we would be pleased to discuss with you the details of this can be accomplished.  With the ability of AMA to provide both qualifed COBOL ILE instructor's for its own courseware, as well as certified IBM instructors for the complete range of courses on the iSeries that would be required for programmers that are new to the iSeries, AMA can be your complete COBOL ILE training partner.               We have no public events scheduled at this time.       For more information on how to schedule this course, please contact Agidigm using the information on the Contact Us page.
