[Tune for subject line quote: "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime"]

Well, it's true, every shop does have some Assembler code somewhere.

And I have just finished updating my Assembler course "z/OS
Assembler for applications Programmers" (3 days) to include
the new hardware instructions recently announced as well as
z/OS V1.5 and HLASM V1.5 changes.

While I promote our Assembler series as being for applications
programmers, systems programmers can often get a good running
start by attending some or all of these courses. Here is how
the curriculum is designed:

OS/390 Assembler Language: Classic (5 days) - the first
       course for someone new to Assembler, includes all
       the original S/360 instruction set plus S/370
       and some later instructions

OS/390 Assembler Language: Interfaces (3 days) - the
       natural follow on, covering static and dynamic
       linkages, I/O macros, basic dump reading, and
       some other commonly used macros (e.g.: WTO,
       TIME, etc.)

OS/390 Assembler Language: Update (1 day) - for new
       assembler programmers who have taken the above
       sequence, and experienced Assembler programmers
       who have not had a chance to learn the major
       changes in the Assembler and hardware instructions
       prior to z/Architecture

z/OS Assembler for Applications Programmers (3 days)
       for new or experienced assembler programmers who
       need to pick up the hardware and Assembler info
       introduced by z/Archicture and z/OS.

The Assembler gurus in your shop are probably your sharpest
technical employees, and keeping them current pays back to
your bottom line in many ways (performance, debugging,
even morale and enthusiasm). If you are losing your
Assembler gurus to retirement, downsizing, outsourcing, etc.,
you should consider growing some replacements by a carefully
thought-out training program.

Go to our page about our Assembler curriculum:

there you will find more information, including links
to the detail information for each Assembler course we
offer (and, at the bottom of that page, links to courses
we teach that are mulit-lingual and include Assembler).
