Hi, this is John Quinn and I'm new on this board. I live down in
Ottawa, Illinois.
I'm interested in learning Python so that I can apply it to help in
modernizing mainframe legacy systems. I worked as a PL/1 Applications
Programmer at State Farm Systems for 13 years using IMS Databases and
of course JCL on the IBM MVS Operating System. Then I worked with the
same skills at Nielsen Media Research in Florida for a few years. I
have nothing technical to add to these discussions yet, but hope to in
the future. I am retired and in great health and hoping I can do
contract work once I become proficient in Python and the current
various developer tools for editing and testing platforms.
Looking forward to learning Python and it's associated tools.

FYI, these days, most of Python discussion takes place at https://
discuss.python.org/.
That said, many of us are still here, preferring to use email, and ready
to help or discuss.
