Re: Do they even teach programming anymore?

*LOL* Well, if the kids coming to work (or interviewing, at least) are any indication, they may have programming COURSES in school, but they sure aren't TEACHING programming :)

C++ and C#, Visual Basic are the stuff they teach now.

I too took most of my computer science minor in Pascal, which they assured me was going to be the "Business Language of the Future" :lol:

whatEVER...I also took Cobol, but have spent all my PAID years programming in C, C++, C# and T-SQL.

I guess I'll stop now...I see y'all are getting glazed-over eyes like my wife does when I come home and try to talk about work.
