A sample size of 1 is not representative. If the university is more interested in teaching "programming," then that's fine, but if you want a solid grasp of computer science, then most of those subjects are still necessary.
- unimpressive 15y agoI do. Thank you for the link. It doesn't really matter what universities do or don't teach. If a subject is of interest you should learn it. I thought everything you and the linked article listed made sense.
- andys627 15y agoYeah... so one thing I love about being self taught was that I've learned because I wanted to do a project, and I learned the most simple tools to accomplish those projects. I'm sure I missed some stuff beacuse I was never forced to do it in a class. I think what would be most helpful is - what are the topics that made you most well rounded, that you would be a crappier coder without, that you took during a CS degree. Also, what are some important theoretical things that paradigm shifted your brain cells for the benefit of every following line of code.
