At same time we would like to invite you for additional workshops dedicated for z/OS developers, on separate track
– IBM Z Explore (Thursday 25.09.2025)
AND:
– NEW ! code4z Broadcom (Friday 26.09.2025)
IBM workshop:
(NEW!) Broadcom workshop:
More details on code4z Broadcom workshops (Friday 26.09.2025)
Broadcom Code4z is a complete developer experience based in VS Code. To experience the solution and see the tangible value of our toolset,we offer hands-on workshops. Individuals that come with their laptop to the will connect into an environment from their browser and by using a prepared set of scenarios will use the tools to do various developer type tasks. The participant will use VS Code and Code4z along with a mainframe.
The workshops we will offer include:
1/ Coding/debugging experience
2/ Generative AI
1/ Coding/debugging experience
This workshop allows the participant to change a COBOL application using the smart edit capabilities provided in Code4z language servers. As the code is changed syntax errors are highlighted, a simple set of steps allow for a compile, and a debugging session.
The workshops can either be run with the sources being in Endevor or in GIT/Local. Seamless interaction with these source libraries is also in Code4z Accessing the mainframe for files, JCL, REXX is provided in Code4z leveraging ZOWE. For example, you can edit PDS’ or JCL, submit JCL and view the results.
2/ Generative AI
Participant, from VS Code, will be able to interact with a generative AI LLM through an
Endevor MCP. The kind of things that will be experienced include:
· learning about what a program does
· understanding what an Endevor error means
· Impact of a change
· etc.
Overall Abstract:
Join us for a practical workshop of the end-to-end developer experience (DevX) with Code4z, a leading solution for Z in VS Code. Bring your laptop to develop COBOL apps using Code4z extensions. Analyze and navigate your Git or Endevor code, explore your app with GenAI code assistance, add new functionality, build remotely on Mainframe with hybrid CLI based tools, use modern debuggers, create unit tests and check your code coverage. No installation required – all you need is a browser!
