My intent in creating the site, www.ibm-mainframes.com, was to combine information from my career as a mainframe-computer-programmer with relevant resources related to programming currently found in other places on the net. I hope that the result is a unique creation that may benefit others seeking to satisfy their curiosity about programming related to IBM Mainframes Computer and/or Computer programming in general.
By age, I do not belong to the initial old days of the Mainframe-Programming though I find myself very much attached to the initial Days Programmers. And I'm always fascinated to the fact that how 'they' learned about this dinosaur, when Internet was not so easily available? That's commendable from them to read the entire manual, to know about many trivial errors, for example, a "continuation error" in JCL .
Also, this Forum is my little effort to show respect and gratitude, in my own manner, to the Titans of Our Industry - I met, in person or online, over the years.
If you look back and see this Dino from some where in early 70's, an IBM 360/40 mainframe contained less than 100 thousand bytes of memory and today the Laptop I am building this web-site on contains over 400 million bytes of memory. Whoa! This inspires me.
Further, mostly every part of the Forum starts with "What is '-------' question" -- That describes about the Main Topic that particular Forum will be discussing about and gives a bit of explnation/s about the "technologies" being discussed in the respective Forum.
