I have just accepted a job after a good interview yesterday, my situation am leaving my second year of uni (computer science and AI) to go into full time work. I will be working for a really good worldwide company programming in C++, but also Progress which they said they will train me in. Starting wage is £18000 which is fantasic as im only 19.
My question is does anyone know the Progress programming language environment so i can research into it a bit more or maybe download the environment to play before i start my job etc?
Regards
Mike
