Javascript in University
- cuchi_costa 14y agoI hope you succeed in changing how the system deals with web related education – it's impressive how little importance they give to one of the fastest growing mechanisms / markets/ you name it! Seems counterproductive..
- rinrae 14y agoI think the prof who taught a class called 'Web Engineering' at my university didn't even know that you could do anything with js besides validating forms … :( . I have to admit I stopped complaining about it pretty soon, I got sort of used to not learning anything useful regarding to web development in university. shrugs
- blabla568 14y agoNice article. I made similar experiences with the state of computergraphics-courses in university... but than again: If the university succeeds in offering opportunities to work on (graded) projects and brings students with common interests together, it has done its job.

- nik-graf 14y agoThanks for sharing your experiences and insights! Universities do a great job teaching abstract concepts and doing research. Web became a great and wide spread platform. Sadly they often dictate students not to work with web-technologies. It's possible to teach the concepts and at the same time use state of the art technologies. I believe there is plenty of room for improvments in universities. I would love to see distributed revision control systems as a standard for student projects. It's great to see people like you challanging the status quo and try improve the environment.
