Transition and Reassessment − the COBOL Crisis Post
نویسنده
چکیده
While industry IT project managers are scrambling for large numbers of IS graduates / professionals with significant COBOL skills to support billions of lines of legacy applications, academic programs are migrating away from COBOL as an integral part of their IS curricula. In some cases, IS programs have eliminated COBOL altogether. The trend toward reducing or eliminating a sequence of COBOL courses from the core IS curricula − so long the standard bearer of IS programs − may well produce graduates who are unable to continue the development and maintenance of existing COBOL applications that provide stability of revenue for so many corporations world−wide. While the trend to incorporate more modern technologies such as Visual Basic, Java−based applications and web−based applications into IS programs is clearly essential, industry leaders and academic curricula planners must address immediate and projected industry needs with the diverging instructional trends in IS programs.
