This is very true. I was raised in Redmond, Washington (home of Microsoft and others), and the school curriculum was influenced to some degree by proximity to software companies. There where many lessons that where in some way relatable to programming, and those made learning programming later on much easier.
- nsxwolf 11y agoI also grew up in Redmond, but probably a little earlier than you. Your comment made me wonder why it took Microsoft so long to get into the schools -- from 1982 to 1990, it was all Commodore PETs and Apple IIs. In Microsofts own backyard!
- bluejekyll 11y agoFor the exact opposite reason why it took Apple so long to gain adoption in business. Being a Linux and general Unix fan, I'd prefer schools adopt open platforms for teaching etc, over proprietary.
