Is this really the standard "academic way"?
At my school, CS classes started in C, did a touch of PHP/JS, then a functional language (was scheme, now OCaml), and then a giant hodgepodge of whatever you/the professor wanted.
- sliverstorm 16y agoJava and C are the most common staples, and at lower-grade schools potentially the only languages.
