Title: "COBOL for the 21st Century: Why This Legacy Language Remains Relevant"
Introduction
- Updated coverage of COBOL standards: The book provides detailed coverage of the 2014 ISO standard, ensuring that developers are aware of the latest features and updates.
- Object-oriented programming: The authors provide a comprehensive introduction to object-oriented programming in COBOL, including classes, objects, and inheritance.
- Web development: The book covers the use of COBOL in web development, including CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programming and web services.
- Database integration: The authors provide guidance on integrating COBOL applications with databases, including relational databases and XML.
- Case studies and examples: The book includes numerous case studies and examples to illustrate key concepts and provide practical experience.
Furthermore, the sheer scale of COBOL’s integration into the global financial infrastructure cannot be overstated. It is estimated that COBOL systems handle approximately 95% of ATM swipes and 80% of in-person credit card transactions. The language processes trillions of dollars in commerce daily, powering the back-end systems of banks, insurance companies, and government agencies. When a user interacts with a sleek, modern mobile banking app, that interface is often just a "wrapper" that communicates with a COBOL mainframe in the background. These "legacy" systems are not broken; on the contrary, they are exceptionally efficient at handling massive batch processing jobs and high-volume transaction throughput. The cost and risk of replacing these stable, bulletproof systems with newer, unproven technologies are often deemed too high by the world’s largest institutions.
