This is a wonderful series, I hope you keep updating so we can follow along. I'd like to be productive and learn a new skill during these crazy times. Thank you so much!
"COBOL is very polite and uses proper punctuation." That made me smile :) This was an immense help for a college student trying to set up COBOL for learning. I was looking at the gnuCOBOL website for installation instructions but using WSL was a lot more simple. Thank you!
Hi I am Julian from Italy! Thank you very much for the videos. I am learning Cobol in my Raspberry Pi computer and I installed the GNU COBOL. I learning from books but I think it could be more interesting to learn developing a true project, I think it could give me more motivation. See you soon!
Thank you very much for posting this video but I'm sorry but I'm finding it very difficult to understand things. I have 25 years as a mainframe analyst and developer and I retired 15 years ago but I wish to get up and running again and I am finding it very difficult. The copy of Visual Studio code that I have has start debugging at the top or run without debugging but nothing about compiling. I also don't understand why we have to do all these terminal commands in the Unix virtual machine. Years ago I had an IBM cobol DVD that did all the development with just a few clicks but they don't support that anymore and never really gave it any real support because I guess they got trashed by Windows C++. So my question to you would be, what would be the easiest way to get back up and running? would the eclipse Platform be a better solution. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
I'm 49 seconds into the video and I have to ask... you are running VSCode on a Windows machine, why not just double click the VS CODE icon? That would be my preference.
thank you for your great information, may i ask Where are useful tutorials for configuring external files or databases for GnuCOBOL, i am using Mac, visual studio code, I have been developing based on mainframe in the past and I am not familiar with this environment， many thanks in advance
Please, could you tell me why the Vscode don't print in the terminal the "Hello World" ? I'm trying to use cobol in the Vscode too, but I can't make this work, like when I'm using with Python for example... I'm using now a software called OpenCobolIDE, it works very well for me.
I could not locate an extension to allow VSCode to compile and run. But you can open a command prompt within code to compile and run. I will look at OpenCobolIDE!

hello.cob: 5: warning: line not terminated by a newline userx:~/Cobol$ ./hello Hello World, from COBOL! userx:~/Cobol$ Why there a warning on "Stop Run." on line 5? But it did compiled and run though.
This was easily the easiest and most straightforward tutorial for installing COBOL I’ve watched, thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! I never thought I'd find an attainable solution to set up an environment to learn COBOL. This tutorial is greatly appreciated

I hope you are healthy, I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos. Big up from Marseille-France

Waiting for the next video. Thanks.
that´s interesting! greetings from Lima-Peru

It’s possible to connect Db2 on VsCode ?

He seems to be running a VM which, in tur, is running Ubuntu which, in turn, is running VS Code.
Hello could tell me how to set up microsoft cobol 5.0 in the vs code?

Thanks mom
Why no more videos on COBOL?
You should check your mic configuration. It is not easy to understand what you are saying. Maybe a headset could be the solutions. Regards.
For me here in USA it was volume. She is very soft-spoken.
hello.cob: 5: warning: line not terminated by a newline
userx:~/Cobol$ ./hello
Hello World, from COBOL!
userx:~/Cobol$
Why there a warning on "Stop Run." on line 5? But it did compiled and run though.
Para evitar ese error tienes que crear una nueva fila al final del todo que este vacía, sin ningún espacio ni ninguna tabulación 😁.
