Visual environment to program using COBOL.

One of the oldest programming languages of all time modernizes thanks to Visual COBOL. The COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language) programming language was launched more than 50 years ago, and it has been used by big companies for their computer systems, whether banks, big shipping companies or general industry.

  With Visual COBOL, the way in which people work with COBOL in general has been modernized, and it becomes a lot easier for new programmers to learn how to use it, because it now offers integration with .NET Framework and Java developments.

  What's more, Visual COBOL has been specially designed to be able to harbor the projects created with it on the cloud by means of Microsoft Azure (perfectly integrated with Visual Studio) or using the Microsoft .NET 4.0 platform.

  Visual COBOL deploys the Azure and .NET applications natively by using Microsoft's Intermediate Language. And in Java COBOL it is interpreted as byte code to be able to be launched from a JVM (Java Virtual Machine).

  Therefore, if you need to program with COBOL or you want to update your software based on COBOL while still using this programming language, download and try Visual COBOL.

Requirements and additional information:

It is necessary to have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installed. The trial period lasts for 30 days.
