Coincidentally I have a book sitting on my desk in front of me that I had
tucked away for years and never used. Sams Teach Yourself Cobol in 21 Days.
I've actually been going through that in my spare time just to do something
with the book before I pass it on. I work mostly as an admin in infrastructure
so the bulk of my 'coding' is really scripting and ansible playbooks.

We have young developers who might be able to use it though. It's fun watching
Java devs wrapping their heads around Cobol, but they seem to do ok. It's
unique compared to some of todays languages but not terrible to learn at all.
