Next fall I’m  teaching a course in basic web development.  HTML, intro to CSS, that sort of thing.  A student emailed me and said there was a prerequisite that he’d never heard, and asked me what it was.  I didn’t know either, since there shouldn’t have been any.  The  school switched course management tools this year, and there are a few bugs, so I wrote to the guy in charge of that and asked him what the prerequisite was for my class.

Turns out it was COBOL.

    Death to COBOL!!! The one computer language I’ve learned that I wish I could completely scrape all knowledge of from my mind…..
