Most of the stuff that I learned for my job happened either during internships, self study outside of classroom education or on the job. College Education for CS Majors is years behind the industry requirements.
- learc83 14y agoThat's pretty much the way it is with nearly every major. Plus depending CS degrees exist on a sliding scale between Math, and Programming. I think a very math/theory heavy approach is better overall, but it's not a vocational training program
- suyash 14y agoI would argue against making CS classes heavier on Math/Theory side of things unless you are going for a PhD. In the industry we need to follow the footsteps of Stanford and offer more practical classes such as iPhone Programming, Facebook App Development, Machine Learning...I would add to the list new technologies such as HTML5 Single Page App Development, NOSQL Based programming, Android Programming etc
