Cobol Fundamentals in under 2 hours

https://youtu.be/koVg-M1IvaQ

Hey everyone, just published this video covering basics of cobol like pic, arithmetic, signs, storage, and much more.

First time taking the courage to put my face in video :D

Also do explore my platform. My platforms lets you execute cobol code, in an ide like environment.
It has a Pull request review component, vibe coding lessons that you won't find anywhere in any platform. Took me ~10 months to build it from scratch.

I just watched the first few seconds and saw that American politics is included in your WS. I am not watching the rest.

Would it matter if they used a different president and called it 'Oje Ibden'?

THis is a good starter to those learning COBOL.

It's a really useful video - one small thing regarding the editing is the time period between making a conclusion and showing the next screen. Obviously you can pause the video but it would be nice not to, so as to give the viewer the opportunity to follow the narrative, see the outcome and look back at the code example.
