From TexAgs Sponsor, Avant Garde - College Prep Services:

Python has gained immense popularity as one of the most widely used programming languages, known
for its simplicity, readability, and versatility. At Texas A&M, engineering students are required to take
ENGR 102, a computation course that introduces various Python coding concepts aimed at enhancing
their problem-solving abilities. However, many students enter the course with limited or no coding skills,
while others have a strong desire to establish a solid foundation that will benefit them in future
computational classes.

To address this need, Avant Garde - College Prep Services has developed three crash courses (three
hours each) specifically designed to help students succeed in ENGR 102 and beyond.
These courses
provide comprehensive training tailored to the unique requirements of the course, empowering
students to develop their coding skills and excel in their engineering studies.



By taking advantage of these specialized crash courses, students can equip themselves with the necessary tools to thrive in their academic pursuits and build a strong computational background for their future endeavors.

Basic and C were what I took. No internet yet, and computers were using 51/4 floppy disks with hardly any memory.

FORTRAN and COBOL were state of the art back in my time as a student the late 70's.

Early 00's - most of the lower level classes were in C, despite A&M having the creator of C++ on staff.
The honors classes got to use Java for 101.

When I was a student, the intro CPSC courses were in Java. Data Structures also had assignments in C to make sure you understood pointers.
