| | The Pascal Programming Language |
 | | In the beginning APL was fun, but it soon became obvious that it was not a good choice as a long term programming solution for an on-going project. |
 | | This class stressed that the art of programming was not the learning of a programming language, but the thought process of taking real-life problems, finding a solution, translating that solution to an algorithm, and finally converting the algorithm into working code. |
 | | Additionally, languages like COBOL were designed with over-elaborate definitions, weak data structures support, and a lack of flexibility, making programs tedious to code and difficult to enhance. |
