SYS-ED’s PL/1 training program utilizes the full complement of training medium - traditional, web-based, and technology driven classrooms. It was developed in the early 1980's in response to specific client requirements. It is only offered on a private basis at the client location.
The comprehensive PL/1 program conducted at the client location is 30 days duration. It will be tailored to the specific training needs and operational objectives of the client organization:
In order to accommodate employee workloads and staff in remote geographic locations, component courses can be scheduled over non consecutive weeks utilizing a combination classroom training and web-based distance-learning. At the client's discretion, validation assessment and a final examination can be utilized.
Fast-track PL/1 courses are also available through the New York schedule.
PL/1 and Legacy Programming Languages in the Mainframe Environment
There are two standard components to the PL/1 training program in a z/OS mainframe environment:
| Mainframe Environment | This component assumes
minimal experience with the z/OS mainframe environment. Topics can be
removed from or added to the module and the duration accordingly adjusted.
Likewise,
third-party utilities and development tools can be substituted or
included (e.g.
Compuware,
Computer Associates,
IBM Tools,
ChangeMan, or
Syncsort) in the program.
When PL/1 is running on a different base operating system platform, UNIX variant or MS Windows, course modules can be streamlined or omitted. |
|
|
| PL/1 Application Development | There is a lesson plan for
the structure and syntax of the PL/1 programming language in conjunction
with hands-on exercises. Structured coding
methodologies are presented in relation to the client's documented standards: code
snippets, sample programs, and legacy code. The program includes
validation assessment for each module and a mid program and final
examination. The assumption is that a portion of the course will be
consultancy guidelines:
maintenance coding, debugging, and performance design. Based upon the experience of the employees in the program, modules can be streamlined or omitted in its entirety. Business professionals and entry level programmers new to the mainframe environment typically will require 4 weeks of PL/1 training. Experienced programmers may only require fast-track training: 5 to 10 day days in duration. |
Fast-track PL/1 courses, IBM mainframe system software, WebSphere MQ, web enablement, and interrelated information technology subject matter can be researched using the search engine.
The audience, duration, and content can be used as a starting point to augment an integrated training program or to evaluate a fast-track course.
