Interesting, I read “Through three interactive Levels, you will access a mainframe and get skilled up on the foundations of Mainframe, including JCL, Ansible, Python, Unix, COBOL, REXX, all through VS Code.” So now they include Python in the MTM course.
The 2019 course already included JCL, Unix, Cobol and REXX. Neither Python or VS Code was used in the 2019 course. In the above line in the first paragraph only Ansible, Python and VS Code were added. And out of those three I used two, Python & VS Code, not included in the course! That was what I was most proud of (combining technologies) while working on my final MTM project…all through VS Code.
I didn’t need to use Python (another language could have been chosen), but I used it because I was familiar with it. The point was to make mainframe development easier by not confining myself to the mainframe. I talked about it almost 4 months ago here where I specifically talk about my plans to parse data using Python and using VS Code to help accomplish this, and again here also here and finally (I think) here.
