Audiobook - COBOL - Beginning Cobol for Programmers - Proof of concept / Sample - Part 01 - Chapter 1, Page 1 (@MoosesValley)

Today I had a stupid thought ... a really, really stupid thought ... one that made me laugh ... and that I just could not shake out of my head.

Has anyone every created a computer programming audiobook ?

My Google searches today did not find any ... As far as I can tell, no-one has ever done an audiobook for a computer programming textbook. Hardly suprising, because you really need to see the code and diagrams to have any real hope of learning to program and understand what's going on. An audiobook for computer programming does not make any sense. Absolutely and totally inappropriate ! :)

And that's why I had to record one. :) The fact that no-one else has ever done it, made the idea even more irresistable to me.

And which language deserves to be the first for a computer programming audiobook ? Why, the language everyone loves to hate of course: COBOL. :)

So, here's my unofficial, initial proof of concept / sample for Chapter 1, Page 1 of Michael Coughlan's Beginning COBOL for Programmers.

If people support this and want me to do more, let me know. :)
