Imagine onboarding a next-generation developer with no mainframe experience who successfully debugs COBOL code on their first day. By equipping them with mainframe-specific extensions to common tools like Visual Studio Code combined with the Zowe framework, new talent can be productive immediately - all without disrupting colleagues using traditional tools. Join this session to learn how mainframe application development is merging with enterprise IT toolchains and processes, including CI/CD pipelines. The presentation will include a demonstration of a mainframe developer cockpit designed for productivity and ready for shift-left automation. Make “Day 1 Debug” a reality.
