Hey, welcome back to the show, thanks for joining us! In Episode 5: The Mainframe Strikes Back, we tricked Bruce Armstrong into joining us for an episode. Bruce is an IBM veteran, Offering Manager, and serves on the leadership of the Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe™ Project. Bruce sure lived up to all the hype; he’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Zowe™, the mainframe in general, and the Open Mainframe Project. In our latest episode we covered so much ground that we had to split it into Parts I and II. Here are some of the topics we covered:

  • Zowe™ – what is it and how it was framed
  • The Open Mainframe Project
  • Zowe™ as the infrastructure’s plumbing
  • VS Code and Eclipse Ché making use of Zowe™ services
  • Wrapping the Zowe™ framework in restful APIs and how that contributes to opening up the mainframe
  • Use cases for Zowe™
  • The cultural shift in the mainframe community
  • How old dogs can teach young pups new tricks
