Sams Teach Yourself COBOL in 24 Hours teaches the basics of COBOL programming in 24 step-by-step lessons. Each lesson builds on the previous one providing a solid foundation in COBOL programming concepts and techniques. Coupled with the COBOL source code and the COBOL compiler available from Fujitsu COBOL, this hands-on guide is the easiest, fastest way to begin creating standard COBOL compliant code. Business professionals and programmers from other languages will find this COBOL hands-on, task-oriented COBOL tutorial extremely useful for learning the essential COBOL features and COBOL concepts. Writing a COBOL program can be a complex task. Concentrating on one COBOL development tool guides you to good results every time. There will be no programs that will not COBOL compile!

It's been several years since I wrote the book. COBOL is still relevant today and is still an excellent language to learn. Even though Windows 98 was the operating system of the day when the book was released, the COBOL compiler still functions well with the latest versions of Windows. There have been issues reported with the 64 bit versions of Windows and if you have an issue installing with that OS please email me at the address noted in the book and I'll be happy to point to you an install patch and get things working for you.

THANE HUBBELL has been programming in COBOL for 15 years. He started in computer operations and rapidly moved into programming. He has worked on a variety of platforms, from the PC up to the large MVS mainframe systems. Along the way, he has had the opportunity to develop new systems ranging in size from small, isolated programs to large, interactive, enterprise-driving systems.

He has designed and written applications ranging from a full CICS security and menuing system in COBOL to a VSAM database inquiry and reporting tool. Thane is a pilot and one of his more interesting projects was a system to translate FAA-formatted Aviation weather reports into English.

Thane makes his home in Texas and is married to a wonderful woman, Darlene, who kindly tolerates the spare time he spends programming on his computer after work. Occasionally he will even take on a custom programming project for her.

Thane can be reached via email at [email protected], and frequents the comp.lang.cobol Internet newsgroup.
