I completely agree. I'm a front end developer recently out of college and I decided recently that I wanted to expand my knowledge and learn hardware. This seems like a good place to start given my knowledge of JavaScript
- dkuntz2 13y agoIf your college education for becoming a developer didn't teach you a lower level language it failed you. Even at my small liberal arts school we use multiple languages (they may all be really, really similar, but they're different languages), and work on low-level things. I'm aghast that a CS education wouldn't include at least Java, especially considering that a large number of schools switched exclusively to Java at one point.
- zhemao 13y agoYou know, he never said he was a CS or engineering major.
- dkuntz2 13y agoYes. But he said he's a professional developer, which implies to me that he should strive to learn new things, like a statically typed language...
- pspeter3 13y agoI learned C++, Java, Scala, Python and Ruby. I just prefer and am most familiar with Scala & JavaScript these days because I use Play. While I could go back and refresh my knowledge of C, it's nice having a device that uses the language I already use on a daily base given I have little to no experience in actually working with hardware. As to your point to zhemao about learning new things, I said in my original post that I wanted to learn new things, in this case, hardware.
