Re: Just bunged them a tenner
Ah, good old Algol W in the 1st year Maths course. It lasted me well. I did some Fortran IV as well, but when I got my first real job programming, a year after graduating (spent working in the Students' Union Bookshop - BESS) the company I went to was using PL/1, which was based on the Algol structure. Very handy. Then ended up moving to COBOL (boo!) under CICS before entering the modern world of Java and websites. But then found myself moonlighting to teach a TurboPascal course at the local FE college. Nowt changes.
