THIS is How I Programmed In The 1980s (And YOU Can Do It Today!)

#80s #procedural #programming This is how we programmed in the 1980s. If you’ve only ever programmed in an object oriented language like C#, Java or C++, you may wonder how we managed to write such complicated programs without object orientation. In fact, procedural programming is as powerful today as it was back then. C is a procedural language and it remains one of the most important languages of the 21st century. You can also write procedural programs in Pascal on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Here I show how I wrote programs in the mid-1980s and how you can write similar programs using free software today!
