the only programming i was taught in school was turbo pascal in my last year. They didn't really teach us they just kinda left us to figure it out for ourselves.
I was already doing win32 programming by this stage (i didn't know about .net or C# in those days) so i figured pascal out fairly easiler.
our computer class didn't really teach us any thing. I learnt more about physics and the paranormal in that class than computers
that teacher was weird.
