Although I didn't go to MIT or Stanford, I never learnt HTML or CSS in university. No, that's not what a Computer Science degree teaches.

- aintahacker 16y agoThat's interesting. Just curious, did you teach yourself HTML and CSS? And what did a CS degree teach you? I may be interested in learning how to program.
- GotToStartup 16y agoComputer science does not equal programming. Yes, programming is a part of computer science but you learn a heck of a lot more from a computer science degree. You learn about algorithms, computational complexity, lots of math, logic and a lot more. You learn how to use a computer to solve hard problems and how to identify patterns in problems that others have already solved. A lot of it is theoretical; you won't be taught how to build a web site. If you wan't to learn how to program just enough to validate your idea, then perhaps taking a computer science degree might be a little overkill. Read some tutorials and just start programming easy stuff and work your way up.
