It's Jurassic July!

For July, as part of #12in23, we’re looking at some old skool languages – Cobol, Fortran, C, C++ and Visual Basic. Very different languages, but all fundamental parts of how the world of programming has evolved!

In this video, Jeremy and Erik explore the different languages, and try to help you decide which one to try!
