This is not the first time people have referenced 'classrooms' where programming was learned. Any specific classrooms where Pick/MV was taught besides the VAR's seminars. Specifically a formal accredited environment for Pick/MV and not just some left-over Pascal-era or contemporary teachings.
I would like to learn of these places that propogated some of the techniques many endorse that may or not be embraced by others.
