Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums High School Are these programming classes worthwhile?

Yes, these languages are not "obsolete" but neither are they the current new thing being explored by early adopters at the leading edge of technology. They are just part of the landscape. Good things to know, and helpful background for learning other emergent languages.

Right, I probably worded that poorly, my apology, "obsolete" wasn't an accurate term, better worded I should have said that the hot button language changes frequently. More important than a specific language is to understand how to learn software.

Well said!
