IDI's PL/I Curriculum
"If I had to choose a programming language for a single large
super-critical project, I'd still choose PL/I"
Conrad Weisert, September, 1998.
At the turn of the century PL/I is much more than a legacy language
for maintaining old systems. With the recent language enhancements,
it's an excellent choice for developing modern applications on most platforms,
including Windows.
Conrad Weisert, an early contributor to the design of PL/I, shares his unique
insights into the power and elegance of this tool.
