Knowledge: The engineering profession requires continuous learning as the cornerstone for staying abreast of evolving practices. In the 50s and 60s, Fortran and COBOL  were two programming languages that made coding more accessible

Conversation:
I am a computer programmer. I do not have a degree in it, though.
Since you are a computer programmer, do you create computer software?
Yes, I do write codes to instruct computers telling them what to do and how to do it
That's fascinating. Did you know that in the early days, programmers used binary code to communicate with computers
Really? That sounds complicated
It was. They would type out long sequences of 0s and 1s. Fortunately, assembly language came along making it easier
I'm learning a lot I didn't know about computer programmer. When was long sequences of 0s and 1s were used?

Response: In the 50s and 60s, programming languages like Fortran and COBOL made coding more attainable
