Engineers at my school have the choice to take either Java or Matlab as their programming core, then take the other as a 1-credit self-paced class some time before they graduate. Watching the people that went matlab -> java was pretty funny not gonna lie also the java prof taught some really stupid folder metaphor that I still don't understand but finally he's gone also they're replacing java with python in the intro course

Sulk posted:Python isn't a better option than Java for an intro course, so that's a bad decision on their part. It's a required course for all engineers and Python syntax is easier so Anyone that needs to continue in programming will use Java in the next class anyway (Then Ocaml, then whatever is needed for the class you're in)

Char posted:they spend all day teaching people how to tell when a quick sort is more efficient than a merge sort but not how to refactor or why 'int a = ProcessStuff();' is bad code If I have to say one nice thing about the old professor, it's that he would make you redo your project if you didn't use reasonably clear variable names and nice style It's like, barebones intro CS course for the sake of Engineering Distributions, not some core course for the major. It could be taught in any language so gently caress java who uses {} anymore its time for WHITESPACE

Internaut! posted:is your class offered within the context of a science degree, or an engineering degree The only difference between our Arts CS Degree and Eng. CS is the core. Eng has to take multivariable and physics (+ some intro engineering/stats stuff), Arts has those as whatever credits. So the B.A. CS students take that class too. edit: oh yeah this is just CS in eng school, there's electrical and computer engineering as a different major. Werthog posted:sounds like the same whiny bitches who asked "why are we using this scheme/ml/prolog poo poo when we already know c++???" in my programming language concepts class It gets dropped because it's known to be one of the hardest classes in the major (along with the Operating Systems practicum), not because "a bloo bloo language." Anyway, the K&R C textbook is amazing. Any others like this (preferably php because its the best (better than lua))?

Really cause I heard the bad thing about working in the financial sector as CS is horrible hours, constant strict deadlines and pressure, and the knowledge that if you gently caress up, you gently caress up a lot of things hard?

unleash the unicorn posted:Also lol because that really does seem to be the only one considering that's what both of you jumped to immediately. that's cause I don't think "hmm, is this java this ebtter not be java" when i start a program so I don't associate things with it. I can't think of many things i use that are java applications but that doesn't necessarily mean it's horrible like you think it is!!

No, this is what is actually true. Or rather, it is the theory that most accurately fits the facts. Pick any boost library. For example... *picks at random* the boost uuid library. It defines a struct that contains a 16-byte char array and has a few functions for creating UUIDs. It somehow uses or includes something that uses MPL. Let's pick another ... *picks at random* the boost spirit library, probably the archetypal example. We implemented a bunch of spirit parsers and it's clearly overengineered garbage. Infinitely slow to compile, not fast or optimizable to run. It's always simpler, more debuggable, and more editable by coworkers, to pound out your own recursive descent parser, or to use some other method of building a parser. Let's pick another ... *picks something "safe"* scoped_ptr. It has an implicit conversion operator. (And of course that's implemented by putting the line code:
Let's pick... shared_ptr: it is all mixed up with weak_ptr, to make it easier to make your code unnecessarily complicated. Let's pick... boost serialization. "Oh, you want to serialize stuff? Sorry, you're using some slow library that wants to keep track of pointer graphs [and iirc, uses RTTI]." The best example of making poo poo complicated for complete vanity is this binary conversion utility. It has a billion preprocessor expansions when you can just use a hexadecimal or octal constant, or convert at run time, or glue different field width sections together with a macro, or run an octal constant through some bitshifting... code:
