I hope this is growing trend and continues elsewhere. Last week there were at least 25 of these young ones at the UK Guide Share Conference. They had there own '101' track. A number of sessions were actually presented by those who have been working with IBM Z for a couple of years!
If this continues at this rate, I will need to continue attending just to bring the average age up:-) Regards Parwez Hamid​ ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of scott Ford <idfli...@gmail.com> Sent: 11 November 2019 01:53 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Subject: Re: I saw 7 new college mainframe hires!
