If I remember correctly, Objects were introduced in Turbo Pascal 5.5, not version 7.

As a sheltered dialup kid, I learned Turbo Pascal and later Delphi back in the late 90's.

Imagine my surprise when I found out it wasn't used anywhere at all.

There were quite a few Delphi applications back in the day, they were easily recognisable by their "exit door" icon.

QBASIC fucked me up for a while.

Yep, my high school computer science class looked just like this. Thanks for the memories.

Yup, mine, too. I don't remember which version it was, but I'm pretty sure it was still "Turbo" (not "Borland") Pascal, in the late 1990s. Grade 10 computer science was taught on Macintosh QuickBasic and then grades 11 and 12 were "real" programming in Turbo Pascal.

I had to learn pascal at college in the early 90s .

And some long called Jackson Structured Programming, which effectively put me off development for life.

Also : why is there a photo from 100 years ago ?
