"Target audience: New and experienced students and professionals looking to build a technical understanding of the IBM Z mainframe."

I don't think that would be a very large audience, but I wonder how people actually do learn about ZSeries. I know there is an official Developer Thing Z/pDT or some such, that I gather is a mainframe emulator.

This is a reasonable introduction.

There's also a bunch of (sign-in required) free training at learn.ibm.com. And I think there's something on Coursera too.

It's definitely not a very large audience, and it is mostly people who either have to maintain a legacy system or want to integrate with one. The price/compute ratio on Z Series is terrible, but it is still highly effective for some workloads. Really though, anyone doing development on a Z Series today is almost certainly just maintaining a legacy core system.
