Ever wondered how it's like to be an old-school programmer working on COBOL in an AS/400? Now here's your chance!

Choice quotes:

  • A free and public Server running IBM i 7.5 for everyone
  • You can create your own user profile, you have 500MB of disk storage and two private libraries
  • You can program in CL, RPG, SQL, COBOL, train your skills and start learning about the best server operating system ever :)
  • Create your own programming projects, you can even use node.js or other web technologies (contact us for http settings)
  • An average of 25 new users per day! Great IBM i community!

Huh. I've wanted to try picking up COBOL for a while out of sheer curiosity. Guess now I've got an opportunity.

Wow, I actually need an AS400 for testing something - this is great.
