This is an explanation of CICS programming (for IBM mainframes). Much of the worlds commerce and government is absolutely tied to this stuff.

Blimey, I think I just successfully created a #CICS bundle with a html POST, which is nice.

Someone has starred my #CICS repo! The fool! 😁

Just spotted that the last version of #HyperledgerFabric I worked on before moving to #CICS finally got released! (On 1st April, which seems appropriate!)

@iainH gives his perspective on the CICS restructure project: https://iainhouston.com/restructure_anecdotes/

CICS is an IBM transaction processing product which was radically and successfully restructured to reduce the cost of maintenance and enable functional enhancements. I worked on the tail end of the initial restructure project and later helped to factor out several more key components. This was one of the most exciting parts of my career and I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to be involved.

#Kubernetes makes my brain hurt. #EKS is a nifty layer of abstraction (complete with its own set of impenetrable acronyms) that acts as a force multiplier for the hurt #k8s brings.

Man do I miss the simplicity of #COBOL and #JCL, maybe a little #CICS, sometimes.

You in to mainframes? (who isnt?) Make sure you check out this #shmoocon talk: https://shmoocon.org/speakers/#mainframes

I'm super excited for it!

Mainframe Hacking for CICS and Giggles

Jan Nunez and Jay Smith

Mainframe systems continue to drive global economic activity despite the “legacy” label they are often associated with. In fact, mainframes are responsible for business-critical functions across 70 percent of Fortune 500 companies. If you have ever withdrawn cash at an ATM, done your taxes online, or booked a flight for your next holiday, you have likely interacted with a mainframe. As with all business-critical systems, ensuring they are secure is imperative. One of the core components of many mainframe shops is the use of CICS, a platform for hosting applications. This component is something that has been largely overlooked in previous talks, which tend to focus on the z/OS operating system. Attendees will learn about how CICS applications work, how to adequately test and secure them as well as the numerous vulnerabilities that exist in poorly developed CICS applications.
