Title: Cobol, it's alive and kicking
Review: It is a good book and an educational video. Especially the reassuring words in lesson 1 gives a Cobol-Dinosaur like me, some hope for the future. I have been developing in Cobol for about 25 years. Beside Cobol, I have also developed in Basic and have made several utilities for MultiEdit, which programming language is almost identical to C++. Starting with RM/Cobol, migrating to Microfocus Cobol and I made the last Cobol-manufacturer's (dialect-) move 10 years ago to ACU-Cobol. Halfway the second lesson in the video I was eager to try VisualStudio in combination with Netcobol. So that is a good sign. This book gives a clear picture of the bridge between Fujitsu-Cobol and .NET.Keep up the good work, Howard!
