Tailored computer software training courses
Training courses to fit your needs
With over 20 years experience in creating and delivering computer software courses, Cobbs Mill Consulting can build a course very quickly to meet the exact requirements of your people. Just some of the topics we offer :-
Key/101 data entry
We can teach you how to get more out of your Key/101 system with very little effort. Whether you use the mainframe or Windows version (or if you are considering converting from one to the other), we'll show you how to create new applications, how to write EasyLogic and how to build a system where data entry is rapid and secure. Techniques that we show you can be applied to both old and new applications. We can also show your data entry people how to manage your Key/101 system.
We also have extensive experience of converting Mercator's Key/Master to Key/101 (a very simple task as Key/101 was developed based on Keymaster), as well as from Keyfast and Nixdorf key-to-disk to Key/101.
Track and Xray online debuggers
MacKinney Systems's Track and Xray interactive debuggers are great software tools for your MVS, VSE and CICS programmers. We can help you get started with them very quickly with our Track courses and our Xray courses. We run the education at your location to keep costs down and you can send as many programmers to the Track and Xray classes as you like. The courses cover everything from the product basics through to the more intricate facilities. So whether you have recently bought Track and / or Xray or are thinking of upgrading to them from some other interactive debugging tool, our training courses will make your programmers more productive with the minimum cost to you.
IBM Mainframe programming
With our huge background in mainframe system software, we offer all levels of courses on a wide range of topics. We can also run courses on specific non-IBM software products. Just some of the courses we offer include :-
- Dump debugging
- JCL - both MVS and VSE
- Assembler programming
- Assembler macro writing
- VSAM
- Debugging using Track & Xray
- BIM-Edit program editor (mainframe and PC)
All our mainframe courses are run at your site on your machine and using your own programs so that they are always 100% relevant.
Aperture facilities management software
Using your own project as the basis for the courses, we can train all levels of users from those who need only to be able to see information and run a few reports right up to your technical experts who want to create reports, change the database layout, build new facilities into your projects and so on. We speialise in the "obsolete" versions of Aperture - up to version 8 - so, if you have new people taking over an existing project, our "Aperture Maintenance for New Users" course is ideal.
