A few weeks ago I went through some zPDT material with 3 young people (very young, from my perspective!) who were recently hired by a European customer. The customer's intention was to "grow" new sysprogs. Wow! They were each using zPDT systems as their educational sandboxes. Apparently a few companies are preparing for the future.
