It’s not every day that someone takes something that you’ve worked on, gives it a bit of a polish, hands it back to you, and then you go “Wow look at that cool technology!”

Today that happened to me. I was pointed towards a YouTube channel called CICSFluff (interesting name there!). There’s three flashy videos that some professional media company must have created:

CICS Events and WebSphere Business Events providing Insight in to Action

New Face CICS – The CICS Explorer

CICS and WAS Working in Harmony

I promise you this isn’t me marketing a product! I’m just amazed at the magic that can be created with a bit of paint and a voice over

I’ve heard many customers say to me “It ain’t real until it’s in CICS“.

Just before Christmas CICS continued its ongoing mission to support every major business programming language since the beginning of time by announcing that PHP has arrived on CICS.

Why am I writing about this on a test blog? Well, I did some of the preliminary system testing and two guys in my team did a cracking job of the rest. So this is another thing that we (as a wider team) are all proud of.

Go ahead and play, but please direct any problems to the other guys in my team
