Coding for fun?

I’m taking a class in SQL today. Brushing up on coding is good for me but I’m reminded of my first coding class – which seems like it was a million years ago….

I had to be able to code in both COBOL and Pascal when I was in college. I’m sure both of them are dead now! This is so long ago that we used punch cards for the programming. And dinosaurs roamed the quad too. But I was punching my cards and maybe got a little over-enthusiastic – which caused my program to work in an infinite loop in an if/then statement. I crack up every time I code something now remembering that. Good times!

Did you ever code in COBOL or Pascal? Or use punch cards? Let me know in the comments – but I really hope not!

Gotta run – I’m just on a break!
