TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO ENTERPRISE COMPUTING
AMAZING course covering IBM Z architecture, design, hardware and software components. Thanks Jeff and team for this very comprehensive overview of the platform.
understanding the mainframe and how the working of the mainframes is easy to understand from this course thank you
The verbally explained parts were short and useful but perhaps presenting more slides and charts could be useful.
Pretty good information, hard to comprehend but that is to be expected. Best course I have seen for beginners learning about Mainframes
