This includes three lessons. The lessons are:
Introduction to Direct Access Files: http://www.csis.ul.ie...
Relative Files: http://www.csis.ul.ie...
Indexed Files: http://www.csis.ul.ie...

Our pattern of study will be for each person to read each week's lesson on their own, submit any practice code to the forum, try compiling and testing programs. Then we will meet to discuss our readings and results.

We will have a large focus on Web Based Cobol Development, particularly with OpenCobol (http://opencobol.org... ).
