      I did some when I was at uni – mostly C++ but also some python for making computer models run automatically. Now, all I use is VBA in microsoft excel!

      I have! I did a computing AS where I learned some Visual Basic, then at university I learned how to write C and a bit of python. I also picked up a bit of assembly code, which is only one step away from writing 1’s and 0’s to a little computer called a microcontroller!

      Now I have taught myself C++ to write the control system for a robotics demonstration that lets you move a robot arm and feeds back forces to the user so they can feel when it’s picked up something heavy or hit a wall. I also use python day-to-day to process data from tests and plot them as pretty graphs.

      Yes, I did when I was an undergraduate. Even now I take courses from the University computer lab depending on the requirements.
