I told my friend at work about this thread. He isn't on here so I am ghost posting for him for fun and perspective. He did his undergrad in CS at UCLA '78-'82. Intro to Programming => PL/1 Problem Solving using Computers => Algol 68 Operating Systems => MIX pseudo assembly Data Structures => Mostly theory/test based Programming Languages => COBOL, Fortran, APL, and ALGOL 68 Software Engineering => C Simulations => GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System) Graphics => GDDM (Graphical Data Display Manager) Very cool how diverse the language selections were. Also interesting to that C hadn't really caught on yet.
