COBOL - Common Business-Oriented Language was the only programming I was ever any good at…even then because you tended to just copy someone else’s code and just change variables and such. Oh and my Dad and brother both did Cobol programming as a day job so that sorta helped my school project :)

Well Cobol celebrated its fiftieth birthday yesterday – and new research released to coincide with the anniversary suggests that it is still widely used throughout the world. I’m off to chat with the Azure team to make sure we support Cobol in the cloud :)
