At Illinois College, it was my freshman year that they switched from Pascal to C++ for the intro-to-programing class. At Blackburn all we ever wrote was Java (but I was a non-traditional there - 2005 when I started [spend 3 semesters to finish up a B.A. in Math that I didn't finish with the B.S C.S. the first go at IC.)
But of course we learned a bit about FORTRAN and wrote a few little programs, but never used it beyond that while in college. --Michael T.

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. "The computer revolution hasn't started yet.
