    Strengthening the Mainframe Ecosystem with Izzi and ColeSoft

    When you hear the word "debugging," you might picture someone tweaking a line of code or chasing down the cause of an error message. But in reality, debugging is much more than cosmetic — it’s where some of the most critical thinking in software development happens. On IBM Z—where stability, scale, and performance are non-negotiable—debugging becomes a mission-critical task that requires deep visibility and precision to ensure complex applications run flawlessly. Join us as we explore the high-stakes world of debugging on IBM Z—where precision matters, and where even small miscalculations can have big consequences. Learn how ColeSoft is helping developers stay ahead of issues before they impact production. Stay Connected Be part of the conversation!

    The z/Education! Podcast – Episode 10

    This episode features Dr. Herbert Daly, Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire. When Herb first approached his Head of Department about adding mainframes to the curriculum, he was told it was a great idea—but the curriculum is only reviewed every five years, and the last review had just happened six months prior. So, he was advised to check back in four and a half years. Unfazed, Herb went beyond a formal mainframe curriculum!  He explains, “In teaching Computer Science, the topics are quite generic, and mainframes fit into many areas like cybersecurity, data science, and more. There are plenty of opportunities to include mainframe learning.” Herb believes real deep learning happens outside the formal curriculum. He actively engages the student community through clubs, societies, guest talks, and industry events. These efforts bring practitioners directly to students and help build practical skills and enthusiasm for the mainframe world. His students often say, “I would like to be the person who knows everything about something as big and important as mainframe!” Key takeaway: This is the golden age of mainframe learning! there's never been a better time to get involved with the mainframe community. Find out about BEAMS, MASS and HEARTZ …… 🎧 Tune in to hear how Herb’s approach is inspiring students and opening new doors in mainframe education!

    The z/Education! Podcast – Episode 9

    This episode features Geoffrey Decker, an instructor in Computer Science at the Northern Illinois University (NIU) and a firm believer in quality over quantity when teaching programming. Geoffrey encourages getting students “down and dirty into the programming” — not just teaching theory or showing pictures — so they truly “program and really test their skills.”  His goal?  Geoffrey wants students to learn so well that “they can teach themselves advanced techniques.”  Advice to educators:  His message is clear: “No teacher of programming should just be a droner. Don’t drone — bring your enthusiasm and a solid, positive attitude to teaching.” This mindset transformed his tough Assembler class into an engaging experience that sparked students’ interest to sign up for and continue with advanced Mainframe courses.  Don’t miss the rapid-fire questions at the end — you won’t believe how many vinyl LPs and CDs he owns! If you guess right, let me know!!  🎧 Don’t miss this motivating conversation with Geoffrey!   Resources  Visit the IBM Z Educator Hub User Group on the IBM Z and LinuxONE Community for IBM Z educators to find the latest communications, news and events, as well as collaborate and network.
