A quick introduction to Python for programmers in other languages, especially REXX. Python's data types, operators and conditions, loops, and functions are covered during the workshop. Attendees will get a necessary introduction to objects, classes, and Object Oriented programming methodology [OOP]. Advanced language statements like generators, decorators, and lambdas are explained on the basic level of understanding. Mentioned are essential built-in functions to create Python scripts accepting command line arguments and working with files. The workshop briefly introduces Python Standard Library [PSL] and working with additional modules and packages.The workshop suits REXX programmers who want to start writing Python scripts.

Software deployment involves many steps and stages and can be slow and prone to errors when these steps are performed manually. Endevor is an integrated set of management tools that can be used to automate, control, and monitor the mainframe software development lifecycle. With the ability to support unique development lifecycles, Endevor provides automated and comprehensive change and configuration management. In this course, you will examine how Endevor manages the software change, plan the software development lifecycle by defining the different stages in the development process, and configure Endevor to manage the software development lifecycle process defined effectively. Attending this course gives you the knowledge and skills needed to help your organization successfully plan, implement, and maintain Endevor as a software change management tool.

Learn how the various layers of the stack work (Operating System, VTAM, RACF, Network, etc.) so you can develop your own techniques and skillets to perform the appropriate mainframe pentesting. This course provides training on the latest and up-to-date attack vectors, techniques for gaining system access, and how to perform an end-to-end penetration test. Attendees will be introduced to the platform by being allowed to explore the operating system and understand the weaknesses within the protocol that allow us to automate much of our testing. Attendees will also be introduced to several open-source tools and libraries available for all the steps of a penetration test including Nmap, Python, Kali, and Metasploit as well as being able to write their own tools on the mainframe using REXX, JCL, C, and CLISTs.
This course consists of lectures, instructor-led demonstrations, and hands-on lab activities.
