This is a famous fight. At my local university it is functional languages. Time will tell if they are right or not - as sweeper mentions we have mostly buried FORTRAN, COBOL and (sniff) Pascal. That's why I'll be really interested to see if the new perl takes off. It's got lots of advanced features that academics might appreciate. But it's quite complicated and I'm not sure that everyday coders will take to it. Does America have 'technical colleges' like we do here? That would be a much better bet for finding a C course, and cheaper to. ____________________
