Mientras la mayoría de los desarrolladores actuales se orienta a lenguajes modernos como JavaScript o Python, muchas instituciones financieras siguen operando sus sistemas críticos con tecnologías consideradas “legacy”, como COBOL. Este lenguaje, creado hace más de 60 años, continúa siendo el motor silencioso detrás de millones de transacciones diarias. Sin embargo, la falta de profesionales capacitados para mantener estos entornos representa un desafío creciente, especialmente por la salida progresiva de perfiles senior que han liderado estos sistemas durante décadas.En este contexto, Interbank y el instituto de formación digital Codeable anunciaron el lanzamiento del Interbank COBOL Academy, un programa educativo intensivo que busca formar a la nueva generación de ingenieros especializados en sistemas bancarios legacy. La iniciativa responde a una necesidad estructural: renovar el capital humano que domina tecnologías clave como COBOL, entornos Mainframe y arquitectura bancaria core, cuya estabilidad y seguridad siguen siendo imprescindibles para la operación financiera del país.

Half a century is a long time for an IT business, and Microsoft is justified in making a lot of noise to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. The celebration brought together three Microsoft CEOs: Gates, Balmer, and Nadella. Microsoft CoPilot isn't quite as old as the company, but it was still at the center of the celebrations. Many Microsoft products have come and gone over fifty years. Is CoPilot going to be one of the keepers? This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown.

Der Mainframe ist tot, lang lebe der Mainframe!“Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM”. So oder so ähnlich hieß bzw. heißt ein Sprichwort in unserer IT-Industrie. Und wenn man sowas hört, hat man oft eins im Sinn: Mainframes. Die dicken Kisten, die in jeder Bank und in jeder Versicherung stehen. Das Ganze sagt sich so schnell. Doch wissen wir wirklich, wovon wir da eigentlich sprechen?In dieser Episode klären wir was eigentlich ein Mainframe ist, was diesen so besonders macht, wie groß und teuer eine solche Maschine ist, was eine z-Architektur ist, ob Mainframes für Greenfield-Projekte genutzt werden, welche Betriebssysteme darauf laufen können, ob wir bei der Software-Entwicklung an COBOL gebunden sind oder ob Go, JavaScript, Rust und Co auch auf einem Mainframe laufen können und inwieweit wir moderne Praktiken wie GitOps, Continuous Delivery, Pre-Production-Testing und Co anwenden können.Am Ende stellen wir uns die Frage, ob der Mainframe im Zeitalter von Cloud, Kubernetes, Commodity Hardware und verteilte Systeme noch eine Rolle spielt, wie wir als Software-Entwickler mal mit der z-Architektur und dem Mainframe spielen können und was für Herausforderungen die Firmen, die heutzutage noch einen Mainframe und alten Quellcode betreiben, so haben.Bonus: Heißt es Der, die oder das Mainframe?Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Habt Ihr schon mal ein Open World Game mit geschlossenen Augen gespielt; oder seid durch eine Sehbeeinträchtigung dazu 'gezwungen'? Schnell stößt man auf diverse Hindernisse, um sich blind in MMOs & Singleplayer-Games mit großen Spielwelten orientieren zu können. Doch der Abbau von Barrieren ist nicht nur im Alltag sondern auch für Games wichtig, um möglichst niemanden vom Spielen auszuschließen. Und was wohl vielen nicht bewusst ist: von entsprechenden Accessibility-Maßnahmen profitieren nicht nur die unmittelbar Betroffenen! Jasmin Dahncke ist Lead UX Designerin bei Mainframe Industries und arbeitet in der finnischen Firmenzentrale an "⁠Pax Dei⁠", einem sich derzeit im Early Access befindlichen Social Sandbox MMO - quasi eine Art "EVE Online" im Mittelalter. Die gelernte Grafikgestalterin ist mittlerweile seit über zehn Jahren in der Spieleindustrie aktiv und setzt sich nicht nur für ein tolles Spielerlebnis und menschzentriertes Design ein, sondern auch dafür, Spiele generell inklusiver zu gestalten. Im Gespräch mit Philip und Ben erzählt sie von einem durch sie initiierten Projekt, die Durchquerung von offenen Spielwelten für blinde Menschen zugänglicher zu machen. Darüber hinaus geht es auch um wichtige Wegmarken ihrer persönlichen Player Journey und was sie dabei gelernt hat, das Thema Accessibility allgemein und Vorreiter bei digitalen Spielen sowie mögliche Zukunftsszenarien einer barriereärmeren (Gaming-)Welt. === Links === Discord-basiertes Chatsystem: https://playpaxdei.com/de-de/news/game-updates/pax-dei-chat-discord Gaming ohne Grenzen (Initiative zu Barrierefreiheit digitaler Spiele): https://www.gaming-ohne-grenzen.de/ Netzwerk Barrierefreies Gaming: https://www.gaming-ohne-grenzen.de/netzwerk/ Linksammlung zu Accessibility in digitalen Spielen: https://www.gaming-ohne-grenzen.de/link-sammlung/ IGDA GASIG (spezielle Interessensgemeinschaft des internationalen Spieleentwicklungsverb: https://igda-gasig.org/ Steve Saylor, Blinder Content Creator & Berater: https://www.stevesaylor.net/ Laura Dale, Gaming Accessibility News & Reviews: https://laurakbuzz.com/category/disability/ verwandte Spielsinn Folgen: #11 Game Usability, #14 Kennenlernphase in Spielen, #23 Games User Research, #31 Gamer Motivation Model, #39 User Research bei Ubisoft Düsseldorf, #40 Audio Gamification, #41 Gamfication & Design für Emotionen (mit Jasmin Karatas), #42 Jahresrückblick 2022 (Stichwort: Glaube ans Spiel), #44 Sweden Game Arena, #60 Game Design bei InnoGames, #63 Games im Unterricht fehlt noch was?

Gaviscon uses his latest Plot Device™ to summon the great Decepticon weapon Majin Zarak from the distant past to Planet Gaia, and it's up to Lio Convoy and the Maximals to stop it. Lio Junior is all like "no way! two can play!" and uses the same doohickey to bring in Garry Primal all the way from Planet Energon, and the hypest team up since Kane & The Undertaker was formed.Subscribe to our Patreon to access exclusive content at https://www.patreon.com/lazorcombVideo Version:https://youtu.be/fyv-hy3oLaAShow Links:https://linktr.ee/lazorcombJoin The Lazor Comb Discord:https://discord.gg/AEMkmvud3kBuy a TOO MUCH ENERGON! t-shirt:https://www.teepublic.com/user/too-much-energon ★ Support this podcast ★

We're moving through the rest of the A Next title, and we're introduced to a new mysterious villain who will be plaguing the team a little later.  We also find out the secret of Mainframe!  And we get an updated Sons of the Serpent, because we can never get away from racists, sadly.  Come join us!

Technically we skip episode 29 because it's a clipshow, but from there on we're talking about episodes 30-33 of Beast Wars II, where The Angle Slam goes evil, and the Decepticons go full Marshawn Lynch.Subscribe to our Patreon to access exclusive content at https://www.patreon.com/lazorcombVideo Version:https://youtu.be/pPj2dcNHTTcShow Links:https://linktr.ee/lazorcombJoin The Lazor Comb Discord:https://discord.gg/AEMkmvud3kBuy a TOO MUCH ENERGON! t-shirt:https://www.teepublic.com/user/too-much-energon ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode of The Main Scoop, we are joined by Bertrand Cardinal, Director of Banking Solutions at Desjardins, for a conversation on empowering development teams through automation, unit testing, and collaboration. We discuss how applications are the keys to harnessing the power of the mainframe, making developers gatekeepers who must be empowered to deliver more, maximize productivity, and ensure applications deliver ongoing vitality. This developer-centric approach is crucial for leveraging the full potential of technology in banking.
