In Australia, we don't really have any CS degrees that I'm aware of. There's the IT degrees, which I guess are pretty similar, but focus on many separate areas, depending on major (for mine, I majored in Software Engineering, which was documentation, design principals, and project management principals, as well as the actual programming, and some math theory) There was also Software Engineering degrees which have an extra "Engineering" year, which all engineering courses do. On top of that, some of the other courses (Electrical Engineering, etc.) also did a number of the same subjects. From what I gather, CS is largely theoretical (Maths, algorithm design, etc.) with some small focus on actual code.

Contra Duck posted:Wha? There's a bunch of places that offer CS degrees in Australia. I went through one at USyd and off the top of my head I know that UNSW and Wollongong have them as well. May have changed over the last few years, but when I was enrolling for Uni, way back in 03, there wasn't any CS courses that I was aware of. Could be a state thing, too. i think there may have possibly been a CS major that I could have taken in my course, though.

heh. Only two that I saw in QLD (USQ and UQ). That would be why. The main QLD/Brisbane unis (Griffith, QUT) don't seem to offer CS courses, but both have various IT courses. Probably all in the name.

FOSS is Free and Open Source Software, and is generally considered a good way to showcase your skills as a programmer in a way that potential employers can view. FOSS.
