Anyone else like being a student either in person at a university or at an online university.
If so what are your fav subjects:
Mine are all arts based courses.
I study through Coursera and have been awarded a number of certificates from several universities. Subjects include Forensic Science, Python programming, Anatomy, Biochemistry of Metabolism, Modern Art, Photography, Biology of Cancer. These are, of course, online learning. I find these very helpful
I really enjoyed learning Python. Did you study it for your job or just for fun?
Hello Rubix I did Fortran at Imperial College, part of Life Sciences degree. I did Cobol programming for a job some time ago. I was interested in Python. I took the Coursera course, run by the University of Michigan. I liked it, interfacing with XML for the web, with SQL to create databases. I liked it. Its like an onion, the more you peel off, the deeper it gets. How about you?
The younger ones won't know Cobol, so a niche market for the old folks who do. I was a bit surprised there are legacy systems around. Those which did not blow up on y2k kept on going.
because there is enough of it around to keep you in work after everyone else has retired?
Cobol is part of retirement package

Old school. I heard some companies still used legacy Cobol code but I found it hard to believe.
Haha yes I agree that programming is very much like an onion! That's pretty cool.
I got into programming through a past job but then I stumbled across Python on one of my course app so my curiosity got the better of me
