- Jackie, I think Pascal is worth to learn. It will given you the concept
- of structure programming and give you a experience for being a programmer.
-
- As you are a year 1 student, you will be graduated 3 years years. It is
- immpossible to predict what kind of programming language will be used
- in 1998.
-
- Nowadays, programmers use C++, C, SQL to develop application. However
- no one know which programming language will be used in 1998.
-
-
- On the other habds, you may not work as a programmer when you
- graduate.
