Dave Cole remembers his first encounter with the TSO TEST command, back during the mid-1970s. “I said to myself, I can do better,” he recalls, concluding, “I did better.” Four decades later, ColeSoft z/XDC is the benchmark of assembler tools, relied on by IBM Z developers worldwide for analyzing code. z/XDC continues to evolve -- and it’s helping train the next generation of IBM Z talent. “It’s exciting to get younger people coming around,” Dave says. “We can generate some real excitement once we get somebody who’s committed to that direction.” Listen and hear where z/XDC is headed next … Antarctica, perhaps?
