I'm taking a C++ and COBOL class at SFA State this semester.
I already know C++ to the point that I am fairly comfortable with it. I hope to expand on this knowledge during the semester, and to learn the "right" way to code.
As for COBOL? I'm not too sure how enjoyable it will be.
This cool link shows how each language differs by presenting the most simple "hello world" program. There are some very odd-looking programs/scripts listed on there, I'm sure you havent heard or seen at least 75% of the languages listed on there.
