- Currently, the undergraduate computer science program I'm going through
- is not the best. There is nothing taught on object-oriented
- programming, and the first I've heard of Scheme is on this newsgroup.
- I'm teaching myself programming on the Macintosh -- I started to learn
- the basics of C and object-oriented programming on an LPMud (which our
- university closed down; they didn't think it held any academic value
- whatsoever). Everything I know about C and object-oriented programming
- I'm teaching myself (in fact, the two comp-sci courses I've taken didn't
- teach me much, either).
-
- Should I be very concerned to whether this is the place to get my comp
- sci education? Or is graduate school going to be what matters?
-
- It's very frustrating to go to a school that advertises a
- "computer-intensive curriculum" and barely teaches you basics of
- programming.
