I wouldn't argue that school gives you programming experience. I've had maybe 5 programming-heavy courses where I learned a lot. That's what, 1 semester? Personally, all the actual programming skill I have is from weekends and summers, and sometimes from skipping lectures to work on side projects.
All the material I've been through has been shallower and less useful than what I could have found online or in a book.
- craftinator 8y agoThis has been my experience as well.
