This course aims to teach learners about COBOL programming in a comprehensive manner. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand the fundamentals of COBOL, including file formats, main divisions, data types, math functions, conditional statements, file handling, and advanced topics like tables and sorting records. The course is taught through a single video that covers the content equivalent to a standard 500-page book. The intended audience for this course is individuals interested in learning COBOL programming, especially those looking to contribute to critical systems like the US Financial System, Social Security Administration, and Department of Defense.
