It's not that ridiculous, I think public static void main () scared off about 25% of the students who took introduction to computer programming (java) at UBC. Hopefully the author is not implying that women would be more easily put off by that kind of thing than men (it could well be true or even the other way around, but without hard data to back it up, that's just sexist nonsense.)
- mahyarm 13y agoThis is why I pushed for python in my CS101 class, but the department stuck to java since that was what was demanded by internship employers.
- iopq 13y agoI was just saying that introductory classes have little to do with who actually stays in the program. Give it 6 years and see who actually decides to graduate with the major!
