Do you mean any half-decent concurrent programming CS course? Because your intro (or even intermediate) CS courses don't come anywhere close to broaching those topics, even at elite universities.
The real issue IMO is that you can get a CS degree without taking a concurrent programming course
- gardenhedge 4y agoWhy is that an issue? Most programmers won't need to do concurrent programming, right?
- sh4rks 4y agoWell this is news to me. Maybe things are different in the USA
- jobs_throwaway 4y agohow would an intro course even get into these topics? Like, is week 1 here's a variable and a for loop, week 2 pointers, week 3 here's a semaphore?
- sh4rks 4y agoStudents aren't looking for internships after 3 weeks though. You usually start applying at the end of the year. By then, your CS course should have covered the very basics of concurrent programming. Maybe we have different definitions of "CS course"
