Intro to Comp Sci language breakdown
I'm interested to know what universities offer (or offered) as the programming language(s) in their introductory programming courses.
If you majored in computer science, or if you know about the introductory computer science program at some university, could you leave a message here with: University Name / Language(s) / Time Frame (or year)
I'm not interested in their relative merits, just the hard facts: what, where, when.
- staticshock 17y agoI went to UConn, which taught C++ until 2004 or so, at which point they switched to Java. I also know that MIT used to run with Scheme, until just recently (2008?), when they switched to Python.
- DanielStraight 17y agoLoyola University New Orleans / VB.NET, Java / 2004 Computer science program is now extinct though.
- rcfox 17y agoUniversity of Waterloo / Scheme / 2009 <-- Computer Science University of Waterloo / C# / 2009 <-- Computer Engineering
- miloshh 17y agoCornell / Matlab or Java / 2009 and many years past. You can choose multiple versions of those courses. There is even a "robotics" version.
