I've no idea what the "F-book page" is, but if it's something you can cite, it would be good if you could put it onto the main page. The sort of details we want, even if it should be incomplete.

Sorry, F-book is my lame abbreviation for Facebook. --Morgan W. (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.224.93 (talk) 00:00, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics (discussion)[edit]

I think it would be very useful to add stats on how many grads CDI had. Please add comment or questions here. Morgan W. (talk) 21:05, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nature of teaching[edit]

I attended the London branch in the early 1970s. A six-month course teaching COBOL and two sorts of Assembler, one for IBM 360s and the other for ICL 6-bit machines. You had to pay and it was half-day, with a lot of people doing a part-time job.

Is this typical?

Should we move some of the stuff on the talk page onto the main page?

I have also asked for details at Quora, [1].
