Making Assembler Accessible with Dave Cole and z/XDC

Published: Sept. 15, 2023, 4 p.m.

Dave Cole remembers his first encounter with the TSO TEST command, back during the mid-1970s. \u201cI said to myself, I can do better,\u201d he recalls, concluding, \u201cI did better.\u201d Four decades later, ColeSoft z/XDC is the benchmark of assembler tools, relied on by IBM Z developers worldwide for analyzing code. z/XDC continues to evolve -- and it\u2019s helping train the next generation of IBM Z talent. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to get younger people coming around,\u201d Dave says. \u201cWe can generate some real excitement once we get somebody who\u2019s committed to that direction.\u201d Listen and hear where z/XDC is headed next \u2026 Antarctica, perhaps?
