Hit or Miss

And I thought my CS department was bad…

“I’ve been able to graduate without writing a complete program in C++, never seeing one HTML tag, and never even looking at VB. I do have four semesters of Ada under my belt though. Yeah, that’s right. Ada.”

I totally empathize with Bob — my computer science major was very focused on theory as well. We never studied the web, but of course that was 5 or 6 years ago.

But I still don’t understand Truman‘s focus on Ada. Ada??? I can only theorize that the university hopes to turn out programmers for the military and aviation fields in St. Louis.

My two big computer science classes at Vassar were taught in Scheme (a variant of Lisp) and Modula 3. I think this is better than OK.

It could have been worse than bad, y’know.
