Description
Driven by the year-2000 problem, the hordes of COBOL developers experienced a renaissance, but the times when COBOL was state-of-the-art
are long gone. Object-orientation, application servers, web front-ends, and relational database systems dominate the scene for new projects
today. The fact remains however, that millions of lines of source code written in the structured programming language COBOL work daily
on computer systems all over the world. One problem that COBOL developers have to deal with on these new projects is familiarity with
object-oriented concepts. Markus Knasmüller, rich with experiences of OO projects in COBOL development teams, offers a successful introduction
for the experienced COBOL programmer. A careful approach across techniques familiar to COBOL developers and discussions of current standards
make this book easily accessible and understandable.
Audience:
COBOL programmers and project managers wanting or needing to learn object-oriented programming techniques.
