Hi Sabine, would be very happy to send the modules, pls give me a email and I will do. The pdf version does not have the comments, so I think the commented modules would be better, ?.?
I have developed four modules for a basic mainframe education - What is a Mainframe, Virtualisation, Virtualisation on the Mainframe and Linux on the Mainframe - all very basic, collected from...

Hi Misty, as you may remember I gave the modules to Cam, who liked them and used them. I do not know if the Mainframe project has made the available, but I most certainly asked them to include in their site. Until Finbar finds a way to have them on this site, I would be very happy to give them to you to spread. Pls let me know what you think.

Super cool Karl-Erik! I'm happy to spread news about any resources you develop more broadly through my LinkedIn and Twitter networks (lots of faculty and many students in addition to a ton of mainframers). Just let me know what I should say and where I should point them.
Today, 55 years ago the world of IT changed. The S/360 was announced. The Mainframe is still alive and kicking, in fact, it runs the world. Happy Birthday and many happy returns.
Frans BeylHappy Birthday indeed.
Back in 1975 I stepped into IT on Siemens 4004 running BS1000 at that time.

And what to expect in the future, is z/OS software pricing finally killing 'The Mainframe'. Judging what I see around me future doesn't look bright and 'mainframers' attitude towards new initiatives isn't r... moreHappy Birthday indeed.

Not sure if I'm amazed that it was only 55 years ago or that it was so long ago, also not sure how I feel that I first dipped my toe into the Mainframe world 30 years ago, where does time go............
