tony,

I was taught how punch cards work and that databases used direct disk access. In 1990.

In college (1995) we learned Cobol and Assembler. And Pre-Object oriented Ada (closer to early pascal than anything I can see on wiki today). C was the ‘new thing’ that was on the machines but we weren’t allowed to use.

The curriculum has always been 20 years behind reality, especially in tech. Lecturers teach what they learned, not what is current. If you want to keep up you teach yourself.
