Misleading title - He took class notes using a notebook instead of a laptop.
I dared to hope to find some absurd story about turning in his CS homework in hand-written C++...
- mamon 11y agoThat was what I was doing for the whole first semester of my CS studies: we learned basics of C++ by writing code on paper or on the board. It was very basic stuff, aimed at people who never programmed before, so we learned about loops and other control structures cin/cout streams etc. Probably that's why my CS department stuff thought it would be a waste to let us use real computers in the university's labs :)
- Retr0spectrum 11y agoI'm doing an Electronics A Level, and we have to hand write code in a fictional assembly dialect.
- jon-wood 11y agoGood to see they haven't updated the curriculum since I did it fifteen years ago!
- Pinckney 11y agoAs a TA, I've actually seen students do this in numerical analysis.
- lfowles 11y agoThat's how tests were in Data Structures class (but C# and the method boilerplate printed, so just fill in the blank)
