Got the work through a family friend, it's his business. I had to learn COBOL (managed through Visual Studio these days thank god) and have ended up contributing to the main application, converting Microsoft c++ and c# examples into COBOL, e.g Gdi32 printing, windows forms, wpf and so on.
Luckily as it's Managed COBOL and based on .NET you can call classes written in C++/C# so I've been doing that where possible!
Good fun and completely different to my usual line of Web Dev.
