This would be true if you got a degree in FORTRAN or Java 1.5 (and if you did, then that's a bummer!) instead of Computer Science. The vast majority of things I learned with a computer science degree are language-agnostic, and the only reason we used any language at all was because pseudocode is hard to compile.
- cyang08 14y agoAgreed. For me, it was a big shift at first transitioning from a more vocational mindset (learning the language/framework of the day) to the theoretical (design patterns, paradigms, architecture). As an aside, just got through Martin Fowler's musing on architecture (http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/ http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/). Highly recommended!
