I did regular ASSEMBLER training, provided by training companies here in
Germany,
in the 1990 to 2005 time frame. Since then, there indeed was not much
demand.
I worked for different mainframe customers since 2000 until today (I'm a
freelancer),
and every one of them had some ASSEMBLER programs (more or less). In
fact, there was one,
who used C on the mainframe heavily; this customer didn't have much
ASSEMBLER, IIRC.
Only C and PL/1.
The co-workers at two of my current customer's sites are asking for
ASSEMBLER training,
but the management there doesn't want to pay the price,
because they don't see the need. But they both have ASSEMBLER programs
(one more,
the other less), and so I have to fix the problems with the ASSEMBLER
code bases myself.
At one of these sites (which has a large ASSEMBLER code base),
they once made me hold a class for ASSEMBLER sysprogs in the 2010 time
frame (IIRC).
I always told them (since 2000 ca.): if you don't want to run into
problems, send me 10 guys
or young ladies at the age of 30, but they sent me 3, which were 45
years old already.
2 of them are still there, but they don't do much.
IMO, the ASSEMBLER expertise and the support is still needed until 2030,
at least,
at this particular company. But I'm 71 then ... not sure, how this can
work.
I am not marketing ASSEMBLER trainings beyond the scope of my current
customers.
Because it is not necessary; I am in charge all the time.
But, of course, if someone reads this and is interested, feel free to
ask. I will set up
an ASSEMBLER class for you ... somewhere in Europe, at best. Languages
are German,
English and French. Other classes, too, like DB2 or PL/1. Call me
offline or look
at my website.
Kind regards
Bernd

Offering? To me it sounds like there’s no demand or there would actually be
classes available to select as we write. There’s really nothing scheduled and
likely won’t be. Because there’s no demand.

Steve Thompson does.
If a company really wants ASSEMBLER training, they can find it here.

I love how many of you downplay others who don’t do what you do. And act like
it’s inferior. Plus, puff yourselves up simply for programming in Assembler. I
made a boatload of money in 40+ years performing nearly every task on the
mainframe. I can also code in Assembler, just never needed to. Assembler is
still dying, as the Assembler listserv attests. Plus, the fact it’s nearly
impossible to find a company that offers training classes in it.
